You really don't want to start with floppies unless you absolutely
have to.  You might try getting a Debian CD from a friend or local
Linux User's Group.  If you have a high speed connection and a CD
burner, I strongly suggest the new debian-installer CD, which does
most of the heavy lifting for you.

Failing that, if you *really* want to go the floppy route, you might
want to read through the manual and start following along.

If you still have some questions, you can help us help you by
providing more detail.
