Re: Debian Installation

You don't need the other 13. You just needed ~100Mb of the first cd.
Then used apt-get for whatever you needed.
If I had downloaded 14 cd's, then I would have 13 coasters (I'm on a
fast connection.)
Suggestion: Read up before doing something. It'll help your customers
if you know.
