I've been using this one:

  <http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/>

in particular, this one:

  <http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sid_d-i/i386/pre-rc2/sarge-i386-netinst.iso>

I have had mixed results with the business-card images, which are
somewhat smaller, apparently with some of the base package
dependencies slewing out from under the installer over time.  That is,
it downloads some of the base packages during the installation, but
they fail some dependency.  The netinst.iso's (about 120 meg) have
been fine and still fit easily on my small 210meg CDRW media.
