If you can install DSL on it, you could then migrate it to a native
Debian (assume you are at least somewhat familiar with Debian package
management), and work your way up, Maybe start with dsl-n for
something a little newer.
Also, if you have a decent Internet connection, have you tried booting
with the Debian netinstall CD? it installs a barebones system that
bootstraps over the Internet.
Also, if it boots Windows 98, you could try
