Argh! Don't bother - let it do the work for you.

Download the disk images and install from those - you can do a 'net install,
etc. In fact, it's *much* easier to do it that way.

The potato install guide is quite helpful:

 (Thanks to Thom, who managed to be well-timed enough to say this on IRC to
 someone else considering installing it... thirty seconds ago!)
