Package: boot-floppies
Version: 3.0.15
When I try to install the base system by using network (HTTP),
this fails saying:
Malformed release file
http://http.us.debian.org:80/debian/dists/woody/Release
The network connection is OK, because getting rescue.bin
and Drivers.tgz works fine.
I use a custom boot floppy to support my network driver (e100).

I got it to work!
I do not know exactly what caused this error, but I suspect this:
I have a partition for /var, and just retrying by mounting this
partition, the installation program uses some of the files on this
partition. When I reinitialized all partitions, everything worked.
