to get back vaguely to the original question, my desktop machine is

Yes. Basically, whatever you've got on your system, gets sucked down again.
Then I'd add about 10-20% for the usual bloat.

Given that potato was 3 ISO's, and the woody beta I downloaded on the
weekend was 8, I'd say signifigantly more than 10-20% for bloat. :-)
Note that there's absolutely no reason to download all of the CD's. Trying
to distribute the entire Debian archive - even for a single

It'd be nice if Dabian _said_ that somewhere. Nowhere on the site does it
indicate you don't need all the disks.
Pretty sure it says it in the install guide.
Yes, it indicates you can do a minimal install from a small ISO, and get

On the website. Great docs.
Funny thing is, last time I downloaded Red Hat, I didn't realise I *had* to

Following this thread I was moved to download and do a netinstall of
Debian - it's been a while since I tried it.
