If you have broadband access (or are willing to wait over dial-up), and
don't need a CD for multiple installs, you can just get the netinstall
CD; after installing a fairly minimal setup, it'll pull the rest of
what's needed off the net.

Alternatively, if you want a full CD, you can stop with the first CD, as
it'll have most of what you need. The CDs are arranged so that the more
popular packages are on the lower-numbered CDs. Once you get up to about
#5 (or 7? or whatever), you start getting the source code instead of the
binary packages. Unless you're going to be compiling your own stuff, you
probably don't want to bother getting these.
