Hi, the first directory for the kernel images is dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current (for woody i think the path should be the same so replace potato -> woody). Here you find the kernel images, the drivers and the base package (for potato it is base2_2.tgz. > Trouble came at the step "Install base system."

Here change the directory by typing dists/potato(woody)/main/disks-i386/current > I searched through the Dos partition I was installing from.

Search for /dists/woody/main/disks-i386 ... the binary directory includes the packages ... the base system is in the disks-directory.
