Has any one tried to install debian like this:

boot using the rescue disk set, (whatever it is but
has tar , gzip, and file system utilities and a text
editor)

run fdisk to partition 

mount parttition intended to be root

mount partition contaning base.tgz 

extract all base.tgz onto the intended root partition.

edit /root_mount_point/etc/fstab correctly

boot the machinne using boot floppy but root as the
new root

continue the installation process.

remember install lilo manually for booting.
