Since you seem to have the bandwidth, I'd recommend you bypass Woody (Debian 3.0r2) and move up to Sarge. It's almost ready to become the next version of Debian, and will probably be a lot less headaches than will be Woody. You can get a netinstaller fromDober dan, Hello, Hallo, I'm from Slovenia, and I have a question, i've downloaded the Debian 30r2-i-binary1 til 7.iso files and i'd like to know how do i burn booable CD to boot linux from CD. I've burned CDs and i couldn't boot from CD and i don't know what i did wrong. i've also downloaded loadlin, install, install bf 2.4, install compact an install idepci dos-patches and i don't know how to use them if they're usefull for me?!

You just get the appropriate .ISO for your architecture (probably the
"netinst" for "i386"), burn a bootable CD from this .ISO, and then boot
from it; it'll install a base system, and then set you up to pull
anything else you might want from the internet. In this manner you only
have to burn one CD instead of 7 (actually, the first of your seven
might suffice for your needs, as it has the most popular packages on
it), and you get newer packages, and you're automatically set up for
installing from the internet.
Burning a bootable CD from an .ISO file depends on what burner you're using. You don't indicate if you're burning them from another Linux box, or from Windows, or from Solaris, or what, nor what program in that OS you're using. Even if you were to provide that info, it might be the case that no one on this list is familiar with that particular program; still, listing that info would be a good start.
Basically you can burn a CD as a data CD or as an image file; you'll have to find that switch in your burning software. Be aware your burning software may not use these terms.
