That's what I also guessed. However, my real problem is that I would
like to first download
only the necessary and required CDs excluding those for sources and
docs. So, which
ones should I download? Strange enough, I did not find any mention of
what these CDs
contain either on debian.org, installation manual or at any other
place on the Internet.
It would be much helpful if a list of files for each CD is made
available on the website.
I prefer to download iso images rather than a network install. I can
later use the CDs for
quick modifications to the installation rather than using network
everytime for this purpose.
May be, I also have to install on a machine which does not have access
to network.

I am currently using Slackware. I have experimented with various sorts
of partitioning
schemes including similar to one given above.

Thanks for your reply. Hopefully, someone can help me figure out how
many CDs to
download for the binary files excluding sources and docs.
