The install program seems to run through a list of files that it is 
trying to retrieve & fails on all of them with either a http/1.0 403 
or 404 error.

The only options on this installer are cdrom, network, already 
mounted & nfs. The help/readme says that the only network protocol 
currently supported is http. This is a different setup program than 
what I remember when I tried to install potato a while ago. It now 
claims that woody is the stable release. The disc images have a 
creation date of 4/1302001 ~23:00.
