Lots of mags have linux CD's on cover. Latest PCW DVD edition has SUSE10 but that's a live DVD.
You can download and burn own image but if you need to do that look for a FTP install image. This gives a mini version of linux that does install but gets most of packages from the net. You don't need to actually install, all you need is to get it up and running and have the network system started.

The best bet is to pop to news agent and check cover disks though. Some may even have some windows diag tools that you can use to further aid.

Try FreshDiag from fresh devices. Needs to register but is free and has modules to show network settings.
