making a base cd

["George Jetson" <confuciun@hotmail.com>]

If I download the 1.44 base files to my hard drive and then create a 
bootable cd using the rescue disk and el torito and have all the other files 
copied onto it, will this work?  If so, how do I get the bootable cd to 
recognize that the rest of the files are on the cd?  How come Debian doesn't 
just make an iso image of the base files only?  Thanks.
