One could of course install Sarge, using images from here: http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-i386/current/images/floppy/ and then edit /etc/apt/source.list and apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade. A minimal Sarge install should be quick, and the upgrade should be trivial, after which running tasksel should get one to the same place as a normal install. Is it worth mentioning this for future people hunting for floppy installs? James, if you try that, perhaps you could write-up any issues you bump into, so that we could still offer a floppy install method, even if we no longer try to cram the latest installer onto a floppy.

how to build a new graphic install guide?
Hi,all! Recently I've got a job to customize a special linux distribution.In fact our company have a network equipment using linux.But we store the system file in a raw disk partition,and the equipment has got some special hardware so we have to recognize it automatic and install the drivers.So we decide get debian cutomzie and add our application to make it work. I browser the install CD and find it seems that debian use css to create the install guide.More I read some articles about how to create a graphic install guide in customized linux in IBM developwork.But I still have got no idea about how to create my own graphic install guide for my own linux. Is there any articles about this? Thanks!
