I suggest that you download all the DVD:s and copy their contents to
your hd instead of actually /installing/ everything from those DVD:s.
That way you can predict how much space will be needed and you can alter
your /etc/apt/sources.list file to use your DVD files from your hd
instead of using the internet as a source for installing programs from.
I tend to install only programs I actually use to minimize the risk of
getting intruders due to security holes.
