Hi You just need to download the bf2.4 disks : rescue.bin root.bin and all the driver-*.bin You can get them, for instance, there : ftp://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.22-2002-04-03/images-1.44/ If you've already installed a debian woody, you shouldn't be disappointed. You just need to install the kernel and modules from the floppy disks, and you may be able to get network working at this moment. Then, you can use network to install base system (but you have to know there's a loop bug in it, cf. http://wiki.debian.net/DebianWiki/DebianWiki/WoodyNetinstBaseconfigLoop) and all the packages.
