I'd suggest downloading the potato iso images from cdimage.debian.org
or from www.linuxiso.org. You'll need the 3 binary CDs, and since
you're not in the US, make sure that you get the binary-1-NONUS.iso
instead of the normal binary-1.iso.
Burn them onto CD using the Windows machine, and then boot with them
on the P90 (I'm pretty sure all the Adaptec 294x controllers have
bootable CDROM support).
Cheers,
Sean
