Not sure what do you mean by woody flavor. Trying to guess by the rest
of the paragraph, you call each kernel image a flavor. In this case,
there are several kernel images in order to meet different hardwares.
These kernels are put on different CDs because as far as I know each CD
can have only one boot image.
I have not downloaded any of the iso files. It could be that there are
8 of them since Debian support more then one architecture.

As far as I know the current plan is to release woody with a 2.2
kernel. You can install a 2.4 kernel but I doubt if this will be found
on any unofficial woody iso file.
It could be that these extra CDs are non-free and non-us and it could
be that these are for architectures other then ia-32.
Hope this helps.
