I got hold of a copy of Red Hat but there is a problem installing it.

If it really is redhat it either is very old, or you'll will need to pay for a licence

The computer has no Floppy, CD-ROM/DVD drive. It has a NIC and HD but
thats about it. I thought I may be able to do a network boot which it
does support and install it like that but that never went too well.

TO get network boot you'll need to make sure the machine can PXE boot and have another machine with DHCP and TFTP servers and either an NFS, HTTP or FTP server running.

Alternatively you might be able to boot from a USB memory stick, or temporarily add a CDROm drive, or temporarily put the hard disk in another machine to copy stuff onto it.
