I guess your Internet access works via PPPOE, this would mean you need
a complete base installation before you can set up the PPPOE connection.
The .debs needed for a base installation are the same as the ones
included on the 100 MB "netinst" installer ISO. A while ago I wrote
a script which creates a minimal partial mirror sufficient for a base
installation, available from the d-i SVN:
