Distro Recommendation



I have a project laptop: IBM Thinkpad 760DX, Intel 166mhz, 64m Ram, and a
whopping 2.1g hd. The trick is, no bootable optical drive and only one
removable media drive per boot. I am tired of trying to get PCMCIA-NIC
configured so I created a bootable partition on the HD; Linux or MS DOS
(used a floppy to create/install the partition, then swap drives and
reboot).
So here I am, I need a distro that will run on the above specs, preferably
with some basic graphical desktop, to be used for basic
class-note-taking/websurfing/SSH stuff. I prefer an installer but can forgo
such if there are explicit instructions. I need to be able to start any such
installer from inside a booted OS (as above, either DOS, Linux, or Windows).

Any help at all would be great!
Thanks and Prost!
Aaron
