Debian network install

[Elliott Chapin]

Thanks very much. Having used some poor diskettes for woody I tried setting 
up sarge w. some of what was left. Fdimage appeared to work, but boot 
stalled when the kernel was supposed to be loading. So I'm going to get a 
box of higher grade floppies and try again in a couple of days when I'm not 
too busy.
