Installing woody w/o net was hard because it doesn't have a single huge
basedebs file any more. I had to read the debootstrap scripts and
predownload all the listed debs myself. Also there was one missing from the
list which caused the install to fail (probably fixed by now).
It is by far easier to install potato and then upgrade to woody.

And exactly that is my problem: potato doesn't have pppoe which I need
for netinstall/upgrade. I could use my old potato CD-set and then
upgrade via ISDN but last time I tried that the upgrade of ipppd broke
the ISDN connection and I was left with a useless system.
