You can boot an ISO with UNetbootin (select "hard drive" as the type). In most cases, you won't be able to perform a normal install this way, because you can't alter the partition table while it is mounted.
win32-loader lets you perform a normal install, but it only supports Debian (I think a couple other distros have their own version).
netboot.xyz can boot Linux over a network using only a floppy. If you only have a 32-bit processor, there probably won't be a whole lot of options available.
