What you need to do is checkout a copy of the d-i subversion repository.
See http://www.nl.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/svn
     

Well I don't have subversion, but I saw this link:
   

You can get hold of Subversion packages for woody here:
 http://people.debian.org/~adconrad/
 

I have a machine on ADSL I can hack on, but it runs woody and must stay 
on woody.
   

Use an unstable chroot, if you can.
 

It's a bit short of disk, and it hangs when I try to use the 120 Gbyte 
WD drive I put in it:-((

The most serious problem I want to circumvent is the default internet 
site it installs from. I _can_ get round that one with a transparent 
proxy firewall rule and configuring Apache as a proxy: I did that once 
before (for RHL) and it worked a treat.

I was hoping d-i waa a bit easier to configure than it seems.
