I can't help you with your specific problem but would suggest that you
upgrade to woody which is the current stable release:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-woody.en.html
However, if you're working off a dial-up connection it is probably
preferable to obtain the requisite CD's. Debian 3.0 (woody) solved a
number of issues in potato (2.2). My 8100/80 wouldn't really function
until I upgraded.
