Re: downloading packages
If your friend's computer is a x86 intel, go to the
debian.org webpage and burn just the cd 1 binary.
There you will find everything you need (including x
windows, desktops environments, etc, etc).
I recommend you to read the installation manual while
doing the installation.
good luck

Here the instalation manual
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual
and here the pages where you have images to burn the
cd with
http://www.debian.org/CD/
if you've got a x86 intel and bandwith, the easiest
option is to download images using ftp or http
Here you have one situated in your country
http://ftp.zcu.cz/ftp/pub/linux/debian-cd/3.0_r0/i386/
for example, choose the binary-1.iso
