Well if you want a debian installer now, just d/l Stormix hail
iso which is debian potato with Stormix installer and a few extras.
The Stormix installer will easily set up your dual boot with
lilo and a nice splash screen to boot from .
Then you can do all your apt-get update/install from any
debian mirror.
