May you live in interesting times.

Yes, over the network.  Kenneth's response to your post has some info
to get you started.

> what can i do whitout cdrom, i must buy it?

If you can find an external SCSI CDROM drive on eBay or through the
place where you obtained your workstation, you will probably find that
useful in the long term.

The Alias|WaveFront Maya for Linux package is only for the i386 (IA32)
platform.  So, no you won't be able to run it.  And even if it were
available for hppa, your poor little 100MHz processor really wouldn't be
cutting it!    =)
