do you mean the *.iso file? If so, I don't think you can get around downloading that. You might want to check out a site that sells cds of Linux distros. I'm not sure of any off the top of my head, but I know they're out there.

If it's too big to fit, how would you install it? It sounds like it's time to upgrade to a second and / or larger drive.

If you have around 650 meg of space and a burner-you can download each of the iso files and burn them then delete. You can always go to www.cheapbytes.com or www.almostfreelinux.com.
It will cost about 6 bucks for a distro,but if you dont have the space..and two rails is correct-where you gonna put the linux with so little available space??hth
