If you download the ISO image and burn that to a disc, it will be
bootable, so you don't need a boot disk. But they discourage people
from downloading the ISO image just to burn one disc, because it is
so large and if it fails to FTP, retrying is expensive. I did it anyway,
for the slink version; but I don't know if there are ISO images for
potato yet.
