I fixed it by having debian-cd include a symlink to /install at
/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/image-1.44. All works fine now....
The boot-floppy system asks for the paths to all these components. Why
cant they be anywhere I like? If you want to force these components to be
in certain paths then dont ask the user stupid questions....
