Yesterday I used the mini.iso from

http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/debian-installer/2005-09-10/netboot

Note - amd64, not ia64.  Boot the CD, configure, install the base
system and kernel and then get the packages you want from your chosen
mirror.

I am not sure what difference there is between the netinst CD and the
mini.iso but both can be obtained using

http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/

It is what I would choose.  Stability doesn't appear to be an issue;
security updates may be a concern.
