Think a DVD-ROM would work on this hardware?

Philosophical question

I have an old Packard Bell Legend computer.  It was manufactured around 1995.  Here is it's detailed information

CPU: Intel Pentium (1) 120Mhz
RAM: 57MB in 4 SIMMs
Chipset: Some old VIA chipset, I think.
Cirrus Logic on board PCI graphics, 2MB video RAM
Has the old buggy CMD640 IDE chip.
BIOS chip is a socketed EEPROM.
ISA/PCI bus, have 2 NICs, a PCI USB 1.1 card, and a Logicode 56WP modem (an old 8-bit ISA modem)
6GB Maxtor HD

Think a DVD-ROM would work in it?  I want to try to install Debian Linux via DVD on this.

A DVD-ROM would work. You won't be able to play DVD movies though.
