The problem is that even "Just" main is bigger than 1 CD and APT doesn't
have a multi-cd option yet (not that I know of anyway).

If you are getting just 1 CD than you get most of main and that's it. It
has everything needed for the default package selections (workstation,
server etc.). If you get more CDs then CD-2 has the rest of main and all of
contrib. I think CDs 3 & 4 are source and 5 is non-free. I'm not sure
where non-us goes but there should be room on either 2 or 5.
BTW this is from memory so if anyone has a correction then please...
