Yes, and I downloaded the images via a Linux Slackware machine, so I could
execute dd without problem.
Fortunately, I had the PPP connection running (it's a Linux gateway with
NAT enabled), so connection was no problem.
Due to the NAT, after the base got installed (and networking set up),
apt-get worked perfectly.

No, it's not impossible; just a little bit tiring, because of the
formatting of about (let's see, 14+3+2) 19 floppies.
BTW, I did that with 10 floppies (so I had cycles of dd-fdformat-dd..).
