RE: 386 or 486 machine
I was able to install woody v3 on a 486/16mb/500mb the other day.
I don't really have any need for it, I just did it to see what would happen.

Yes.

I suppose the standard Debian installation pages:
<http://www.debian.org/>
One word of caution, however, is if the machine you are installing onto has
limited memory, then you might want to try the potato boot disks and go from
there. (For my ISA-only 486 machine, the potato idepci boot disks did the
trick as where the others stalled.)
There is an installation named "Dlite" (Debian Lite) that I only recently
found out about and I have not used it personally. But, from what I
understand, it is for systems with limited disk space and limited memory.
