Most of the Woody ISO's and install scripts are really buggy. If I were
you, I'd do a super-minimal Potato install, get networking up, edit
apt-sources, and upgrade to Woody, install packages as needed.

KDE 2.2.1 for the most part is in Woody. Kmail in Woody is unfortunately
still the 2.1 version, and thus does not support IMAP. ARG! I'm waiting
to be able to replace Netscape mail with KMail, as I don't use Netscape
for browsing any more... Konq is good enough for me.
