Hi Cecil,Stan's suggestion is correct, in spite of the way he chose to state it (let's assume he was being humorous...)
The Lenny "businesscard" iso at http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/current/i386/iso-cd/debian-503-i386-businesscard.iso is only 36 MBytes.It contains everything you need to start the installation. It will dynamically download all the other packages you need for your *particular* installation, and *only* those things. When you are bandwidth constrained, it's by far the best installation method for minimizing total waiting time.
And, it has the advantage of automatically giving you -- as an integral part of the installation process -- all the security and stability updates that have happened since the distribution was created.
Use it in good health! Happy Solstice! Rick
