James, 

I found the Debian package from CheapBytes invaluable--it includes an
installation guide which gave me all I needed to get on my feet w.r.t. just
what you're asking.  While it certainly cost more than simply DL'ing the
files (~$34, plus S&H), I now have everything on CD's, along with a
reasonable chunk of archived stuff.  

I'm absolutely new to Linux.  (Still working on various setup stuff, if
you'll note my mailer ...)  That purchase and Sobell's book are making it a
lot easier.

Hello there,
 
   I'm giving serious 
consideration to installing Debian. I've found some great FAQs and HOW-TOs 
on installing, but I can't seem to find anything on WHAT I need to install. 
What packages do I absolutely need? What do I need for X Windows? The 
Internet? I'm confused. I'd appreciate any help I could get.
 
Thanks,
James
 
Start with the following :
 
ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/stable/disks-i386/current/install.html
 
Particularly the section "Methods for 
Installing Debian"
 
Also grab the dselect guide (there is a link to it from 
the above).  Dselect will help you in regard to what other files you 
will need after the basic installation (ie minimum files required by X 
etc)
 
If you have any specific questions after you have read the 
above, fire away.
 
Regards,
 
Paul Guidera

Hay James:
 
When performing a raw install of 
Debian,
it will install all necessary 
packages 
automatically. Form that point 
forward 
it is up to you what other packages to 
 
install. The packages you select 
would 
obviously depend upon the 
functionality 
you desire. 
 
Peter
