You have to know what type of cpu you have: 64 or 32 bits. Then get the cd's,
either amd64 or i386, unless you have something else than intel or amd cpu.
Then you have to decide which graphic interface you want: KDE, gnome xfce or
an other one. Search the net to make your choice. I doubt you will need more
than the first cd for gnome, or the kde or xfce+lxde cds if you choose one of
these graphical interface.(I am using kde). If you need more application, you
can always download cd2 after, it should meet all your needs. As far as modem
support, I have no idea, but someone else can help you......
