If you have a CD-ROM, use a DOS boot disk with a suitable driver for your CD-ROM, which is referenced in the config.sys file, and MSCDEX.EXE, referenced in autoexec.bat.
You could use a DOS-based TCP/IP disk (but you'd need to supply your own NIC driver, and edit the files to suit) to install over the network.
Space could be tight if you wanted both network and CD-ROM, so you may need to edit the IP disk, or store some files compressed and write a routine to uncompress them to a RAM disk.
