I've tried to tune it by removing netcfg-static and isa-pnp-modules from debian-installer/build/ pkg-lists/net/common and debian-installer/build/pkg-lists/net/i386; but this failed too: free space -158 k: % fakeroot make build ....

It's not of much use, though. Hope this is of any use to you, and thanks for working on debian-installer: it looks quite promissing!
