It'sd not that long, but you can buy a Slink CD cheaply.

The Slink CD has an early version of apt-get compiled for hamm.
You install that first and follow the upgrade steps, which go
something like:

 1- dpkg -i apt*deb
 2- edit /etc/apt/sources.list
 3- apt-get update
 4- apt-get dist-upgrade

Done!
