With Debian you can do this with a broadband connection but if you're
trying to attempt this over dial up then you need more than two disks.
PPP requires about eleven base-X.bin disks, I've done this over dial up.
For more information about Source Media and Installation Stages and
other information see section 5.3.2 at

Also, I can't remember how the install goes from there but I think
your having problems with either getting your ethernet card configured
or with dbootstrap

BTW, you're not behind a firewall are you?
