hamm, slink and potato are still available; you have to search a bit, but they are available. Bear in mind that they're still compatible with newer stuff; however, they're not maintained, so bugfixes are your problem! Woody should still fit; extract from Debian's install instructions for Woody

2.3 Memory and Disk Space Requirements

You must have at least 12MB of memory and 110MB of hard disk space. For a minimal console-based system (all standard packages), 250MB is required. If you want to install a reasonable amount of software, including the X Window System, and some development programs and libraries, you'll need at least 400MB. For a more or less complete installation, you'll need around 800MB. To install everything available in Debian, you'll probably need around 2 GB. Actually, installing everything doesn't even make sense, since some packages conflict with others.

so picking and choosing is a Good Thing, but it will work...
