You need the i386 packages, but your better of getting the installation cd (at list #1 non-us). If the computer you are installing on isn't connected to a fast Internet connection, the one you are downloading to is, and you plan to stick with the stable distribution, you probably should also download at list #2 and #3. You can either download the iso, or follow the instructions to download using rsync. Don't know if the Israelly package mirror also has iso and/or rsync mirrors, anyone? Its located at http://mirror.hamakor.org.il/pub/mirrors/debian The lines for the /etc/apt/sources.list are: deb http://mirror.hamakor.org.il/pub/mirrors/debian stable main non-free contrib deb-src http://mirror.hamakor.org.il/pub/mirrors/debian stable main non-free contrib deb http://mirror.hamakor.org.il/pub/mirrors/debian-non-US stable/non-US main non-free contrib deb-src http://mirror.hamakor.org.il/pub/mirrors/debian-non-US stable/non-US main non-free contrib
You can drop the deb-src lines if you are not interested in sources, and change the stable to whatever version you prefer (stable/testing/unstable). Its not completely clear whether unstable or testing is more stable, but iirc testing is in the process of going into freeze to become stable, so its probably relatively stable around now (I still occasionally hear about problematic packages on debian-user but rare).
