If you are looking to buy, here is a list of vendors: http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/ Some ship internationally, if you don't have anything suitable locally. I don't know if it is an option for you but you could set up a portable hard drive with Debian.

Re: About installation DVD's
OK, Rupesh. Here's the process: 1) Debian releases the downloadable CD/DVD/Blu-ray disk images. For reasons already covered, they release the first three DVD as .iso images and the rest as '.jigdo templates. (As you have pointed out, this doesn't help someone like yourself in a place without high-speed internet access.) 2) Vendors download the images and burn them to CD/DVD/Blu-ray disks and make them available for sale. Some vendors only use the first three DVD images -- either on the assumption that that's all you really need or simply being unwilling/unable to use jigdo to get the rest. (This may help you, if you can get by with the first three DVDs -- as seems likely given that you are a new Debian user. Or you may really need all 10 DVDs -- I don't know and you haven't said. However see below regarding international sales…) 3) Some vendors don't bother with the paperwork for doing international sales. (No help for you here.) 4) A few vendors do the full job. They download/jigdo the full 10-DVD set, burn them, and make them available for international sale. This takes time. Be patient. As previously noted, there is a list of vendors at http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/ You'll probably find at least one of them who has gotten all the way to step 4, or is working on it as we speak. But you'll have to dig for it -- visit each vendor's web site and see what they have available. Your email address doesn't tell me where you live, so I can't do the research for you. Does this help?

How many months it would take to download remaining seven iso's using http,ftp or torrents. Cheers, Rupesh. Short answer - the complete 10 DVD set is available from some vendors now. I would contact your vendor of choice directly to ask when they plan to ship complete sets or go to http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/ to find other vendors near you. I just did a quick spot of U.S. vendors. Some haven't listed Wheezy yet at all. Some are offering both the 3 DVD and 10 DVD sets. Longer answer The Debian administrators have chosen to move away from providing CD/DVD images on their servers available via http or ftp due to load levels. Go to http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.0.0/ and follow links relevant to your architecture to find links for bit torrent and jigdo downloads - ALL 10 DVDs are available.

Re: About installation DVD's
There are 3 dvd's for wheezy: debian-7.0.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso 2013-05-04 17:14 3.7G debian-7.0.0-amd64-DVD-2.iso 2013-05-04 17:14 4.4G debian-7.0.0-amd64-DVD-3.iso 2013-05-04 17:14 4.4G So just add up the GB's and divide that by your internet connection speed. I would recommend bittorrent rather than jigdo unless you are very familiar with it. You could get 95% of the software a typical enduser needs from just the first DVD. If you were to download the first two CD iso's you'd have a goodly chunk of that important 95%. Anything else can be downloaded a part of the installation or later. You don't need all the disks to install. -- clet debian is my main squeeze On Mon, 13 May 2013 20:32:06 -0700 Rupesh Reddyrupeshforu3.li...@gmail.com wrote Sir I am living in a remote area so I have to buy finished dvd's.
