If you have good (relatively fast) internet access, you can install using the smaller
netinst .iso - but that relies on network access to do everything thereafter.
lxde CD1 will install a fairly basic system with an LXDE desktop environment.
[The other CDs would allow you to add more and more applications if you were
network disconnected - but there are forty or fifty of them and you don't need them all]
DVD1 is the same - using the DVD is enough to install Debian.
If you have a machine that is able to boot from USB, you can use dd for any of the images
to write them direct to a USB stck and boot form that.
All the very best,
