I recently installed woody from the files in the boot-floppies area.
I used rescue.bin and root.bin from the 1.44 area on floppies and the
drivers.tgz from the top on a cdrw. (The system won't boot from cd.)

Not needed in my case. I just configured my ethernet (the 3c509, the
3c905 still isn't being recognized by that system) and hand-edited the
sources.list so I could use my local server.

My dsl doesn't use pppoe, and the installed system is behind my nat
box (also woody) anyway.
