People probably helped - I installed Linux for the first time back in 1994, and that was because a couple of local guys introduced me to it.
I did download slackware floppy sets, over university internet connection, a few times. But it wasn't too long until there started to be Linux magazines available, and they'd often have a CD-ROM attached with a new distribution to try out.
(I actually remember having to buy a CD-ROM for the first time somewhere around 95, because my computer didn't have one and installing with floppies was getting very old by then.)
