If you are bandwidth restricted, your best bet might be to stop downloading now, pick up only the netinstall bootimage and netinstall only those packages that *you* deem important. after all, we all have different ideas of what's important, right? Once you do that, run dpkg-scanpackages (and gzip) to create a Packages.gz file. Burn to cd, you now have a custom debian repository with only the stuff you actually want to spend your bandwidth on. -Mark
