I have never touched Debian and last night in anticipation of doing an 
installation I did a wget -c *.iso for the multiple DVD files. 

On the Debian website, there was also a set of document listings showing the 
contents of each DVD that I downloaded.  In perusing each list, I did not see 
grub/lilo or kernel files within any of the DVDs.  

Am I right that to do the install, I must also download a CD Boot image that 
would setup a minimal system 

and

I would subsequently have to read each of the DVD's to extract files that I 
require?  (As I already have the ISO files, burning a few DVDs is not a major 
time loss or loss of effort).

If I don't need the DVD's, then from what I understand,  there is a graphical 
installation program and using it I build my picklist and download the critical 
files from a website.

Just don't want to get frustrated by having to redo an installation several 
times.

I would like to learn and plan to do it right the first time.
