IBM PC/XT Clone and 1.44MB FDD

Hi,

I've got a generic PC/XT 8088 clone (contains NEC processor) with no HDD
and two 5.25" FDD. Needless to say that the media as well as the O/S (M$
DOS) is not available in my local market. I was wondering if it's
possible to:

(1) Install a 3.5" 1.44MB FDD in it.
(2) Acquire FREEDOS and boot the machine
(3) Use some sort of DOS terminal program to connect to a Linux machine

Appreciate any help and guidance.

Thanks.

Hassan
