Probably already done for you:

How to use Red Hat CD's and a custom installer to put recent versions of
RHL (soon Fedora) onto hardware which otherwise would be considered too old
to support it. Successful installs of RHL 8.0 systems using their installer
were documented using 486 computers and 8 MB of RAM... your P/60 will do
just fine and likely have a working GUI as well.
