I want to load anything to my old Bondwell 486NC. HOW?

What type of drive do you have on the machine to load an OS - does it have a CD, or just a floppy drive? Also, how much hard disk space does it have? If the drive is very small (200MB or less), the only current OS you could load would be one of the smaller linux distributions, uming you have some means (CDROM) of loading it onto the laptop. The link below lists, and links to, a variety of smaller versions of linux, depending on what method you have for installing it.
