I strongly recommend you to follow the advices given at http://www.debian.org/CD/ Mainly the one asking you to download only a minimal bootable CD image, and installing afterwards from the network. If you have a fast link to the computer being installed, you will need to download only the software you're going to install, saving a hughe amount of bandwith. If you need for some reason a copy of CD set, please use "jigdo" to build them. Here are the reasons why jigdo use is better: http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/ Cheers, -- Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo jsogo@debian.org
