Cool It's Debian Time


Okay, I have been using Mandrake 9.2 for a while now and have decided I am ready for Debian. I booted to the Windows partition manager and deleted all of my partitions and headed to www.linuxiso.org. Under i386 these are all of the packages available:

Debian GNU/Linux - Disk 1 Generic boot (Non-US)
Debian GNU/Linux - Disk 1 Generic boot (US)
Debian GNU/Linux - Disk 2 'vanilla' boot
Debian GNU/Linux - Disk 3 'compact' boot
Debian GNU/Linux - Disk 4 'idepci' boot
Debian GNU/Linux - Disk 5 'bf2.4' boot
Debian GNU/Linux - Disk 6
Debian GNU/Linux - Disk 7

Ack! What all do I wan't? Mandrake only had three ISO's. I would asume I would want Disk 1 US version, but then do I need 2-7? Im going to have to go buy more cd-r's...

You can do a base install with only one cd. The cds are made so that the most popular software is on number one, the next popular on cd 2 and so on. so you should be able to do a install with only cd 1.
