Contains the netboot debian-installer using a USB memory stick.  

This wonderfull but I do not know how to use it.
The machine I want to put it on is an AMD64 Asus K8 with a 
portion of Gentoo on the /dev/hda (not yet fully installed) and 
of course I left enough room on /dev/hda1 to include both the 
Gentoo and the Debian AMD64 kernels in the /boot partition.

However, as I said the Gentoo is only partially installed and at 
this point, may never get installed  (too many frustrations).  
My second hard drive is a WD 120 Gig with nothing on it, and 
since the Gentoo is seeing the internet I figured I might use it 
to get the 64 bit machine into action and then at some time off 
in the future  get back to the Gentoo install.

I need assistance in the following areas:

1.  Which files do I need from the 
http://amd64.debian.net/debian-installer/daily/netboot/ 
which contains the netboot debian-installer using a USB memory 
stick.  
2. How do I get the above files loaded into the 64 bit machine?  
As  I said, the Gentoo is partially loaded and I can see the net 
via RoadRunner cable but have not been able to locate the usb 
connection to download the memory stick.

Thanks for any assistance.
