Yes, RTFM
I did, I didn't see the answer quickly, as we all know on this list, my
skills in this area are weak. I appreicate your help. As always, I
also wasn't expecting you to do the looking up, this was just a general
plea to anyone who happened to know off the top of their head. :)

"Although a full set of binary packages requires several CDs, it is
unlikely you will need packages on the third CD and above."
You could also consider ubuntu as it supports a wide variety of packages
and tends to be more up to date.
Neil Stockbridge wanted to use debian on our mini server array rather
than ubuntu, this is the continuing case of 'using what your tech mate
is using'.
Also the ubuntu CD's I have don't have all the packages I needed.
This problem will actually go away once we get decent net access at the
library.
Cheers Don
