If you like RedHats network install, you'll love Debian's. The current
boot disks default to http to get the base system. From memory, you will
need the root disk, the rescue disk, and all three driver disks for
PCMICA. 

Once you have gotten through those, it will go off and fetch the
base2_2.tgz and unpack it. (Really, it's less painful than creating 13
or so disks) 

Now you have enough to run dpkg, dselect, and apt-get. these tools will
get all the software you should need. Good luck.
