From TechnologicalWiki
This article is a set of options I have chosen when I installed Debian Etch (currently stable version at december 2008).
As we are going to perform a network installation, first we Download debian installation cd minimal version
$wget http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r5/i386/iso-cd/debian-40r5-i386-businesscard.iso
Then we toast the iso image in a cdrom or use qemu for the install.
