My IBM X22 uses the e100 network card, so I was network-less when
installing.
I installed Woody by creating a basedebs.tgz file using debootstrap on
my desktop machine, and putting that on C: in Windows 2000. I then
booted a reiserfs boot disk (google helped) and pointed the installer at
the basedebs.tgz. Once I had rebooted I could install and build the
e100 module and continue the install over the network.
