Thanks to all those who give me some advices.

I downloaded the 6 diskets 1.44 driver1 2 ....
and all worked fine until I get Next: install base system.
I put driver1-bin in the floppy but I got this anser:

wrong disk .... you need disk1 of series the base series.
Where are the disks of the base series ?  

I have another question:
I had created 3 partition :
hda1: boot, 4 Mb
hda2: swap, 4 Mb
hda3: 81 Mb

Confirme is what I have done is relatively suitable.
I can put hda1=40 Mb and hda2=8 Mb for my disk is too small.

PS.
4 Mb of RAM is not enough I had to put 8 Mb to make it work.
Perhaps it's possible with slink but not with potato.
(on my machine 486 SX daewoo)
