I'm glad to hear that! However, I think the credit should go where
it's due. The boot floppies are what worked for you. All I did was
figure out how to get them to work on a different medium. The real
functionality that you're seeing comes from v2.2.7 of the boot floppies.

You were planning on downloading the rest of your debian install over a
33.6 modem!? Wow, you are a patient person!
