Try to find a fast connection and go with the Sarge net installer.
I have not done a CDROM install for years and it really must be a pain.

I tried Knoppix for the box of my father and I had to fight some really
nasty bugs if you create more users.  I'm not sure whether they are fixed
now (at least the people who wrote the installer where happy that I was
able to find the problem).  But a Live-CD is intended to work from CD as
the name says and a installer installs a real distribution.  I'm not convinced
that this is really the best choice.

Same as for Knoppix here - even if I do not know it personally.

Might be an option
