Those are what you would want.
You have a strange idea of details. And thats about how far it goes in that section too. But in the threads here I've put together a whole plan of attack. Involving editing the sources.list. Knowing how to get going with the nic. A series of commands for apt-get that clean things up and get ready to install a more fleshed out system. I suspect there is a smallish outline of things to do that would make it pretty clear how to conduct a network install. Some of that needs to be in that section. I don't think its enough to say, you can do it by ftp or http.
