Debian no longer supports floppy installs...

[eddie]

but does:
Improvements in this release of the installer

* Improved support for Live-CD installation media (much faster and more reliable than earlier releases);
* Support for some NAS devices based on Marvell's ARM-compatible Orion chip:
o QNAP TS-109/TS-209 and TS-409;
o HP Media Vault mv2120;
o Buffalo Kurobox Pro;
* Installer images for Netwinder have been added again;
* Installer images for i386 Xen guests
* Support for hardware speech synthesis (speakup) has been added;
* Upgrade of packages early in pkgsel, for example to get available security updates for base system packages;
* Support for loading firmware from (removable) media during the installation;
* i386/amd64: support for installing to and loading firmware from MMC/SD cards;
* New translations: Welsh, Irish, Northern Sami, Serbian (Amharic and Marathi were added in beta releases).

# PowerPC: the graphical installer should work on almost all systems with ATI graphics cards, but probably not others;
