One could of course install Sarge, using images from here: http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-i386/current/images/floppy/ and then edit /etc/apt/source.list and apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade. A minimal Sarge install should be quick, and the upgrade should be trivial, after which running tasksel should get one to the same place as a normal install. Is it worth mentioning this for future people hunting for floppy installs? James, if you try that, perhaps you could write-up any issues you bump into, so that we could still offer a floppy install method, even if we no longer try to cram the latest installer onto a floppy.
