The Debian netinst iso is 190MB whilst the business card iso is 45MB in
size.

Which one should I use?

Thanks

 An easier way than Russell's is to use the netinst iso (only 25 MB or 
 so) and then in the installation point it to the Debian mirror on 
 AARNet. No need to set up a PXE server or anything, just run the CD and 
 point it to a Debian mirror as the installation source. You will 
 probably need a wired internet connection though.

 http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst

 During the install give it this url: 
 http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/debian/pool/main/

 It seems to have PPC packages.
