Yep, that's how I did it.
I found the best way was to setup anonymous ftp on the desktop and point
apt at it on the portable (after the plip link has been setup of
course). Install the base system on the portable using floppies, plip
can be setup from there.

I have Slink, but have spent some time over the last few days updating
essentially all the required base and standard packages from Potato. So,
when I look at packages "for Slink" or "for Potato," which one am I supposed
to choose? For instance, the October Gnome. Should I avoid the Slink version?
Same thing happened here. apt quit because some script broke (which is
semi-normal). I fixed the problem, but then apt-get -y -f

package that broke was yiff-server, if that matters (probably doesn't).
