The boot-floppies package and resulting boot disks are the most
unstable part of Debian's current unstable. Unless you are prepared
to assist in the debugging and coding of the boot disks, I'd recommend
installing Debian 2.1 or Corel Linux
(http://www.corel.com/news/1999/november/november_15b_1999.htm) and
then upgrade.

Just go in stages and use "apt-get clean" periodically.
