debian-install on DOS

hello.

taking my first steps at Debian, here.

and attatched to this email, and included below, is one result so far.


the purpose:
  wget-ing the files needed for installing from a hard-disk DOS partition.


( and is there a chance we can add support for wget-list-building
     to the debian web, somehow? 

  eg:  walk the package-tree, check some boxes, press a button,
 	  download the wget list, then take it from there. 

  not sure if this would be necessary, with the debian package-system,
   but I'd like for /someone/ to start offering something like that.

   java.sun.com, for example... .)
