When I was experimenting with it a few days ago, I didn't need a lot of cd's. I just used 1. It was the talkiing installer from http://www.debian.org/devel/ and it had the information it needed on it to set up everything. I guess it would pull in packages from the network to get the ones you needed. Then you wouldn't have to have all those discs. I only have to say that it will take a very long time to do unless you replace your dsl modem before doing it, but it should work. Glad to help Doug Smith
