         Wrong place to ask, but we do have people who owns Macs that run 
Linuxes.

>I have the 19 Floppy disk image files but I am not sure how to use them?

         Basically you need to use Apple's Disk Copy Utility to unpack the 
disk images to the floppy disks and boot the first disk to install it.

         Unfortunately you need to, coz' the disk encoding is different 
between Macs and PCs.

         Get someone to burn a bootable system that has disk images, mount 
all disk images as floppys, and then install !

         Yes.

         Get a full 68040 processor to replace the 68LC040 processor and 
run Debian !
