The amount of floppies depends on which method you wish to use... I used 6 
disks to get a fresh install of debian to a point where it could finish it's 
install from the net. You can do it from one 30 meg CD too if you can get a 
cdrom in the pc temporarily.

You'll probably want to read this page to work out which floppies you will 
need :
