All of a set is needed. Debian includes a lot of packages in theirr DVD/CD sets, most of which you will probably never have a need for. You will be prompted for each disc which is required, based on your choice of applications, during the install. I actually prefer using the minimal boot CD for Debian now. You just pull the packages you need without having to have a full set of install discs. http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/ Anthony On Mon, Mar 10, 2008 at 5:21 AM, Robert Holtzman wrote: > I'm thinking of trying out Debian and looking at their web site I find > multiple iso files.
