    Welcome to the forums!

    I think you only need the first four CDs for an installation. The others are all extra software.

    You might want to consider the netinstall.

    Etch is a stable version of Debian and its prefect for everyone.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
