You should be able to make corrections without going back to the installation system. For example, network addresses in /etc/init.d/network (slink) or /etc/network/interfaces (potato). But if you want to do it from floppies, you only need the first one (slink) or two (potato). You need to "Mount a previously initialised partition", and then "Configure whatever-it-was" to make the changes. Apart from the network above, I can really only think of "Configure Base System" which only seems to affect /etc/timezone and the clock line in /etc/default/rcS. What did you get wrong?
