Currently boot-floppies doesn't support DHCP. It will be included in
boot-floppies 2.2.5 (we're about to release 2.2.4) most probably, we're
working on it.
Installation over HTTP has been added to boot-floppies this weekend, and
will be included in 2.2.4. It hasn't been tested properly, so it might
not work 100% till boot-floppies 2.2.5.
You should be able to configure your network settings via DHCP and to
install Debian over HTTP mid january.
Cheers,
Marcel
