woody install from Windows partition: HELP



I have a problem getting woody installed from a windows partition using
loadlin. I first download the rescue.bin, root.bin and drivers.tgz
as well as the dosutils, and then put them in the appropriate paths on
the windows partition. The installation process starts up OK, but when I
get to the point when the installer wants to install the base system I
am stuck - I don't know what to enter here - apparently there is no way of
getting the base system over a ppp connection??

Is there a base.tgz file like base2_2.tgz for potato? 
Can I use base2_2.tgz for woody?
Do I necessarily have to install potato first and do a apt-get dist-upgrade?
-Or how do I proceed?

Thanks,
Lars.
