I think you need those files to get the minimum functionality of
automated package installation using dselect and other things.

I downloaded all these on the one file using a windows pc,
burnt it to a cd, then did the rest of the debian install
much quicker:

11.2.3.4.2 Base System archive tarball
If you are not limited to diskettes, choose this file. 
    .../base-images-current/basedebs.tar
