The current CDs are this big:

open:/debian2/cd-images# du 2.1_r0/       
1158909 2.1_r0/i386
978044  2.1_r0/sparc
1038195 2.1_r0/m68k
1186912 2.1_r0/source
1083600 2.1_r0/alpha
5445661 2.1_r0
open:/debian2/cd-images#

That's 2 CDs for source, and 2 CDs for each acritecture's binary set, each CD 
being around 600MB.  Since the partition I keep the images on is 9GB, you'll 
be safe for a while if you have that much, since I'll have to rejig things 
once we go beyond that.

Cheers, Phil.
