[ List of 3.0r1 x86 ISO images snipped ]

The only one you really need is binary-1 (which has the installer) - you can
install a basic system with that, then download everything else off the
Internet using apt-get. The other CDs are just to save bandwidth.

Packages are grouped on CD by popularity, so the first three binary ISOs
will likely have > 90% of what you want.

The Update ISO has all the updated packages since 3.0 was released. It is
for those who already have the 3.0 ISOs and just need the updates (rather
than burning a whole new CD set).

Actually, you should be downloading the 3.0r2 ISOs. 3.0r2 is the most recent
stable release.
