Hello.
I've recently verified that even the smallest potato system may not be
upgraded easily to woody using just CD #1, because the perl transition
packages are in CD #2 (having to tell yes, i know this is bad to apt
is not something I consider safe for upgrading).

You can start installing from floppies and continue using the net.
So the number of required CDs is zero.
If you want to install from CDs, the minimum number is one.

We can drop 2.4.16 since we have 2.4.18 (I think this is already done).
If we add kernel-source-2.4.18 and kernel-source-2.2.20, these are the
popularities in decreasing order:
kernel-image-2.2.20 418
