Why don you burn the first cd? that is enough you do not need the others. When you have installed debian on your system you install the rest by typing apt-get install <package>
On the first cd is the setup and the basic packages.
On the other cds are just more packages. You can take them as apt-get source to install packages either. but i think they are already out of date. Woody was released in winter as i know.
So burn the cd image of the first cd on a cd put it in your cdrom drive and restart.
( Booting from cdrom should be enabled in your bios.)
A little hint for you for your debian installation is to take the bf42 kernel image.
Otherwise your will only to be able to format your disk with ext2 and not with ext3 or reiserfs. And i think ext3 is the best.
So burn it reboot and type bf42 at the
boot:
