According to the release notes for Debian Lenny, http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch02s01.html.en#id2756691, any CPU after (and including) the 486 is still supported. Since the K6 is a Pentium-class CPU, I would think it would work just fine. As for alternative options for installing it, if you don't have a CD or DVD burner, you could boot from a USB flash drive (if your motherboard supports it), or if you have another Linux computer on the network, you could set it up to allow network booting from it, if your computer supports network booting.
