For Debian disc 1 is enough if you mean the DVD. If you want to use CD 1 or the netinstall CD you should have a working Internet connection otherwise you will get a very basic graphical system (CD 1) or only a basic commandline system (netinstall CD).

The only reason to use all the DVDs is if you don't have an internet connection. You can downoad them elsewhere, or have someone else do it, burn them to DVD, and you have the entire Debian repositories, or at least a snapshot of them at a point in time. If you have an internet connection, all you need is the netinstall version, or the CD 1.

With discs 1 and 2 you will be able to install a complete Debian standard desktop.

I have done the Debian netinstall twice, while using a wired connection.

Worked flawlessly both times.
