I see you s/programs/packages/ here. I was wondering if it would not be 
better to use packages instead of programs more often in general in this 
README... Only disadvantage is that "programs" also at least somewhat 
covers the installer.

I have some problems with your proposal too though, especially the second 
half. Maybe combine the two?
"During the installation you will be prompted for the location of a
network mirror from where additional packages will be retrieved."

Yes, I agree.
Maybe: "It is unlikely that you will need all of the TOTALNUM disks in the 
set. The higher the number in the set, the less likely it is that you 
will use any of the packages that are included; higher-number images 
contain mostly special-interest programs."

Yes. "If you choose to install a graphical desktop environment, other 
package management programs (such as synaptic) can be used as well."
