want to install potato

[Christian Eckert]

Hello   I want to install the current stable version (in my opinion this is potatoe) on my pc at home.   This pc has an old 90MHz pentium, 64 MB Ram, 10GB SCSI Harddisk and a SCSI Cd-Rom with an ADAPTEC Controller 294? an of course a 1.44MB floppy. At the moment this pc has no internet access.   However I have the opportunity of another windows-pc with a very fast and cheap internet access. So I like to download all the files I need via ftp from the german ftp-mirror  ftp.de.debian.org    Firstly I would look for the floppy images, rawrite and so on.. but then ? Is it advisable and neccesary to download the binary-cds. I believe there is too much stuff on it. For me this is a little bit deviating. I am sure that when I will have made some progess in understanding linux, potato will only be found in the archives...   So maybe someone can give me a hint how to get a basic system running on my hardware (as described above). That means which contents or which files in all the thousend of folders I see in this mirror I really need now.    By the way, is there anyway a description of the contents (folders an files) off the ftp-servers.   thanks in advance   Christian
