I would recommend having your very lucky friend download the packages for you
instead of a whole ISO image, since like you said at this point there is not
much ease in either finding out which ones are most up-to-date, and also if you
want to install non-free the images probably don't include most of that (?).
If you use apt to install from ftp, you can fool it into thinking it already
downloaded the packages: have your friend download all of them and burn them to
CD, then just copy them all to /var/cache/apt/archives or something like that.
If you don't have enough space you can make a few decisions before getting to
dselect.
