Even smaller than netinst, is the businesscard CD image. It is under
50MB long. It also is worth saving because it will continue to
download and install the most recent version even after future updates
of Squeeze make the current version of netinst obsolete. But for both,
I really hopw OP has an internet connection that is not >>56kB/s.
