intallation from local server with floppy


Hi,
I ve just downloaded the 2 floppies ( boot.img and root.img) to start installation from floppy. I have all the sarge in local ftp server. Since I haven't CD drive on some machines, I want to install from the server by using the floppy to start the installation, unfortunately the fd tried to get the packages from the network, there is no option to tell from where to install as in the standard installation CD ??
Perhaps I downloded the bad images ??? in this case where can I found the good ones.
thank you very much
bela

Did you follow the instructions for Installation? Gnereally to install from a local network machine, you have to setup a TFTP server, not just a standard FTP server. Or you have to unpack the CD and make a local repository.
