Without really knowing the system specs, it's harder to recommend a distro. However, it looks like Puppy Linux is the solution for you.



Let's get started.



First, you're gonna need the LiveCD. Get it from here:

Check if your BIOS supports booting from CD. (If not, you're going to have to create a boot floppy. Get that from here:

After the desktop has loaded, to do a full install, (note: this will erase Windows.) start ';Menu | Setup | Puppy universal installer';. Select the medium that you want to install Puppy to. (This will be your hadrdrive.)



From there, just follow the on-screen prompts!



If you have any problems, look at the official manual/wiki here:

Using floppies will be very slow, and most modern distributions don't even offer that option.



If you have a CD drive in the laptop and a CD burner on your internet-connected computer, that will make it very easy.
You would simply go to any site that offers Linux. Ensure your system meets the minimum requirements for the version you want to download. Once downloaded, install it.
