Hi
One possibility to consider is run off the Trademe and purchase the 3
dvds. I got them for about $5. This gives access to a vast range of
software without requiring a connection. Of course updates will be a
problem.

Aidan’s got his new PC, and has decided to go with Debian. Being
limited to dial-up, the plan is to do a base install from disk,
retrieve the repository indices from the ‘net, generate a download
script for the desired packages, and do the actual download off-site.
Does this sound workable?
Which CD do we need for the base install? The Debian site has about 20
images for the current release, as well as a “net install” disk. The
latter sounds promising, but does it require a network connection
during installation?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Mike
