The actual files you need from ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/mirrors/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/
images-1.44/rescue.bin images-1.44/root.bin Next you need to decide how you're doing things from here. If you have a pile of floppies, you can get all the drivers-* and base-* files from images-1.44. We're looking on the wrong side of 13 floppies for this method. If you don't have 13 floppies or the patience, but DO have a partition you can easily put 20 or megs somewhere near the root directory, you can get drivers.tgz base2_2.tgz Please note that the above refers to potato, there's no good way to install straight woody ATM. This will set you up a ~40M distribution with enough functionality to choose what you want from that point. You're looking at a tough row to hoe for this, but if you think you can hack it, go for it!
