Grab the iso distribution from somewhere. Ga. Tech, North Carolina and sometimes local cise or circa has these.
The Intel compaq servers boot from the cdrom by default. Don't need to make the floppies. If you do need to make a floppy get the rawrite and boot.img for CD based boot or network boot and use the DOS window to create floppies.
Boot it up and select language, keyboard and mouse type and then the install presents several options. Server option is not recommended for dual boot configurations as it overwrites any dos partitions you may have setup before. We select custom and make our own file systems with a large swap space using the GUI tool.
Allocate at least /, /usr, /var and swap partitions at least. Usually we have a tmp file system per machine as well on a seperate disk.
