mirror i can't.
because it was said no version in this server (i have debian 4.0). my
internet connection is pppoe.
i have read that pppoe is supported to install debian via network.

Does your adsl modem contain a router, if so, you can probably configure
it to handle the pppoe connection and set it as your gateway. Otherwise,
you will have to configure pppoe for your ISP. Here is the relevant
extract from The debian reference manual
(http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-gateway.en.html)
Many broadband Internet Service Providers (ISPs) use PPP to negotiate
connections even though customer machines are connected to them through
Ethernet and/or ATM networks. This is accomplished by means of PPP over
Ethernet (PPPoE) which is a technique for the encapsulation of PPP
streams inside of Ethernet frames. Suppose your ISP is called myisp.
First configure PPP and PPPoE for peer myisp. The easiest way to do this
is to install the |pppoeconf| package and to run |pppoeconf| from the
console. Then edit |/etc/network/interfaces| so that it includes a
stanza like this:
iface eth0 inet ppp
provider myisp
There are sometimes Maximum Transmit Unit (MTU) issues with PPPoE over
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL). See |DSL-HOWTO
<http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DSL-HOWTO/>| for details.
