First, I want to thank you all again for your help. I wanted to
follow-up in case my question got asked before or again.

What I was looking for was
http://www.us.debian.org/releases/sarge/debian-installer/
which I found on Google after thinking about what I wanted and typing
in the correct search argument.
Thispage, with the mini-iso image is better than sliced bread.
I downloaded it, used HotBurn to build my little iso file, booted it
up and it did all the work, perfect for bozos like me.
I also have whined to you all before about building a debian
installation module with a mail server, domain name server, web server
options using just the command line, and, viola, that existed in the
Sarge I downloaded. I left the "desktop" system blank, as well as
printing, and selected the name server, mail server and web server and
had the whole thing up and running immediately. We are doing some
work so this is on our private network, but I expect to be presenting
a Debian face to the world Real Soon Now (to replace our RedHat face).
Thank you again for all of your help, I hope this helps someone else
down the line...
