connection, I even recommend getting the compact
installer -- you
download 2 floppy disk images, burn them to a boot disk and a root disk,
then most of the installation is done via the net. I install all of my
Debian boxes with this method -- you are insured to get the latest from
Debian (if you are foolhardy like me, you can install testing/unstable
to get the bleeding edge stuff):

I had to use four floppies: net drivers and cd-rom drivers (without the latter I
couldn't see my hard drives).
20 minutes after I inserted the last floppy, I was up in X.
