Default Installing a distro when you do have a CD drive but not those CDs

Hello!
This computer does have a CDROM drive, however the few distributions that are a
suggested starting point for building a F/W image for the NSLU2 are ones I do not
have a CD set for.

Would someone please correct my assertions, or even refute them? For Debian and
Fedora I can simply retrieve the appropriate series of boot floppies, and write them
to disks, and then boot them, and follow their installation steps. It is on this issue
that I would greatly appreciate to see my assertion corrected, if need be, or refuted.
