If "the Lloyder" wants another install idea I've always had good success
by doing minimum floppy disk installs and using apt-get to download
further packages.
If you combine that with ReiserFS install disks you can also have
ReiserFS on you boot drive:

Think about this because installing a boot journaling filesystem at the
start will be much easier than trying to migrate to one later (unless
you want to use ext3).
I also see there is a Debian "NetInst ISO" that can fit on a business
card CD and is "only" a 33MB download.
