aghhh, that sort of network install.  I thought you where doing it the 
hardcore way and setting up tftp servers and all that.  Debian is a 
peice of the proverbial to install this way.  It's pretty much developed 
to install like this.

Once you have done the minimal install and rebooted it will prompt you 
for the source of the rest of the install.  Keep it light cos you know 
the hardware can't take it all ;-) choose one of the uk mirrors http (or 
ftp) will both do the job.  And then sit back while it all downloads and 
installs for you.

Make sure you do it from work and not on a dial up from home and mail 
this list if you are having any problems I always install debian this 
way I only use cd 1 for all the different architectures (net install 
cd's not available on other architechures) and then net install the rest.
