Since I don't burn Debian CDs, I'm only guessing. With that disclaimer ...
... I assume you are referring to this part of the ftp directory:
> potato-i386-1.list 14-Jun-2000 20:56 87k
> potato-i386-1.raw 11-Jun-2000 14:28 643M
> potato-i386-2.list 14-Jun-2000 20:56 119k
> potato-i386-2.raw 11-Jun-2000 14:31 643M
> potato-i386-3.list 14-Jun-2000 20:57 55k
> potato-i386-3.raw 11-Jun-2000 14:33 485M
I'd read this as implying that Debian-Potato's i386 binaries fill 3 CDs. The
*.raw files are the actual iso images (the date is about right, from what I
recall), and the *.list files are the package lists that correspond to the
similarly-numbered CD images.
The usual Debian practice is to put the most important packages (from main,
at least) on CD #1, so I'd begin by making an iso using potato-i386-1.list .
AS you do this, remember that the iso images only cover main and, maybe,
contrib. They don't cover non-free and non-US, leaving out a few packages
you might care about (ssh is the obvious example).
