Even Slackware boots from CD. Could you explain this a bit more?
Nocturnes:
I am not entirely sure if this will work but try the image for FC 1. You can get it here:

Installing from a local partition is easy enough as well, simply mount the iso images there. If you have a copy of Partition Magic (or similar) on your Windows install you ought to be able make room to mount the images from there.
[edited to add] The kernel image FC2 needs to boot is simply too large for a floppy

Mandrake, Knoppix... no Linux installer or live CD will boot from this stupid DVD-ROM. It's either dying or a Windows-only piece of shit. I suspect both.
I think I may be spending tonight hunting down manuals for the DVD and CD-RW, swapping some jumpers, and trying to rearrange the boot order or something.
insomnia:
I also recommend a hard drive install.
Move the ISOs in the new partition.
Next, mount them using -o loop:
--- Code: ---
--- End code ---
Make a boot floppy:

--- End code ---
Boot your floppy and choose to install from your hard drive...
EDIT: Oops, you meant FC2.
This worked for me:

^ That would still require he have FC1 installed to begin with.
