I don't know about booting from the CD-ROM, but you will be able to make a  
basic release 3.0 on the 105MB HD.  You'll be able to install all the language  
material and have about 13MB free on it, if I remember right.  I tried this (my  
situation is similar: 1GB main HD and 105MB swapdisk) and it ran fine.  I  
wouldn't do anything major with it (swapping might be a problem), but it should  
run well enough to use.
