Installing woody without downloading lots of MB?

Hi,

I currently have a Mandrake 8.0 and although I like some parts of it I am 
very intrigued from the experience of installing / maintaining Debian 2.2 on 
two firewalls / routers. The problem, though, is that I am depending on a 
working copy of KDE 2.2 and would very much like to try out stuff like 
XFree86 4.10 ...

Now, I have Debian 2.2 CDs and a high-bandwidth but VERY expensive internet 
connection. If my traffic costs weren't so high I would simply install 2.2 
and then upgrade to testing (woody) but that would cost me huge amounts of 
money.

I do have access to a flat internet connection at a friend's house, though. 
He would burn me on CD anything I want but I don't really know how I can make 
it easily possible for him to download an update / the whole woody distro for 
me and put it on CD.

So, what's the best way for me to get a working woody distro running on my 
computer without downloading lots of stuff over my internet connection?

Thanks.
