I think you're saying that your computer right now (running whatever OS,
it doesn't matter) doesn't have room on the hard drive for an ISO image.
If your box has USB and you can get a USB stick (256 MB is fine), then
you may want to consider using the hd-media USB installation feature
found in the installation manual.
Basically, you download a small compressed image file that you can then
zcat directly onto a USB stick. Then you can download the netinst.iso
file directly to the USB stick. You then boot the stick and away you
go; no CD burning or large hard drive space required.
