Straight to woody after fresh potato install?

[csj <csj@mindgate.net>]

The first of two questions: Is it OK to specify woody as the apt source after 
a fresh potato installation (I just grabbed, as someone suggested, the 2.88mb 
floppy install image)? I want to have woody with the least number of 
downloaded packages.

Second question: where is the best place to get the latest gnome packages? 
I'm planning to do some gtk compiling. Which gnome and what (virtual?) 
package do I specify to get a complete development environment. This query 
has been prompted by my inability to compile the lastest xcdroast (0.98?) 
under potato.

TIA
