CD DVD documentation
Hello,
A discussion in de Debian User list revealed that it is not obvious that one needs CD-1 or DVD-1 to boot and that all the other CDs / DVDs are just to hold extra packages.
That infiormation may be available at other places but at least not there. A little extra explanation is suggested.
Can someone update the relevant pages? There are 16 different languages of that page.

I suggest that this text is inserted at the end of the third paragraph which starts with "From one of the locations ...."
