I have laptop ThinkPad 240X which has external FD and
external USB CD-ROM. Besides I have pcmcia Ethernet card.
Is it possible to install Gentoo using floppy and Internet?
If possible where can I get images for floppy?

If you can load directly from CD, there is no problem - you can use
the usual way described in docs.

If you cannot load from CD direcltly, you can install by any possible
way any other linux in a smallest possible size and then after
making necessary partitions, chroot and continue Gentoo installation
as descrobed in docs.
