@ John: The OP is a newbie and perhaps not aware about the packages.

@ Rupesh: You unlikely need all DVDs. I don't know what DVDs are needed
for most common stuff, but others pointed out, that you need the first
two or three DVDs. Perhaps the other DVDs include seldom used packages
and packages including the source code. OTOH you might need software
that isn't available by any f the DVDs.

If Internet connections are that bad in your part of the world, you
should consider to use a distro that fit to your needs regarding to the
packages that are installed by default.

E.g.

http://ubuntustudio.org/
For audio, graphics, photo

http://www.linuxcnc.org/
For CNC

http://www.edubuntu.org/
For education
