You should become familiar with the woody install documentation:
<a
href="http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-powerpc/current/doc/install.en.html";>
Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 For PowerPC</a>
There is no longer any base.tgz, instead you install from the network
or from a local (full) archive.

Depends on what you want to use the cd for...
If you just want one architecture for one PC, just get that
architecture's stuff...

Did I mention the installation manual? But for debian-cd usage, that
would be a subject for their list...
