Yes, an option to "download the base via ftp" would be very
nice as well.
If there are no other computers
nearby, I am usually forced to first boot with
LOAF (or some other single-floppy linux, I haven't explored
this much), partition, configure modules/network there,
ftp base2_1.tgz). Then the normal debian install.
Not very convenient: is this the best way?
Would ftp fit on the boot floppies?
Then I could just do it from the shell.
