You probably don't need all DVD images - the first three should be enough to build you a fairly complete Debian system. The other DVDs include all the other packages - 40,000 or so in total - that make up Debian but you may not need them all. To save space, only the first few DVDs are generated and stored now: if you _REALLY_ want the others to be torrented, you will need to find someone to make the images first - using the .jigdo fies - and then torrent them. FAQ alert: If you have reasonably fast network access available to you, you may be able to install using only the netinst CD and all other packages will then be downloaded from the 'Net. /FAQ alert All the very best, AndyC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
