Hi Casey, With Bullseye - the old single CD which installed XFCE proved impractical as it grew too big for the medium. The last XFCE release was for Debian 10 Buster We have netinst CDs for the rare case of where you must use a CD for a CD-only drive. Otherwise, there are far too many CDs to produce and it becomes inappropriate for storage costs on the worldwide mirrors carrying CD and DVD images There is DVD1 at https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/11.2.0/amd64/iso-dvd/ and then the other 18 DVDs are downloadable via jigdo by using the files in https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/jigdo-dvd/ Using jigdo does require network access to do this and, ideally, a Debian mirror fairly close at hand in network terms. Debian contains a very large number of packages: for an offline install, in most cases DVD 1 to DVD 3 will be sufficient. Source is also available for all packages. All the very best, as ever, Andy Cater [Also part of the team: generally checking media for release days]
