looked all day with no luck about info on the debian package cds

[Arkady]

what i need to do : set up L.A.M.P

what i have : the debian cd installer : debian-40r1-i386-CD-1.iso

as well as the ones for kde and xfce ( just because i wanted to try each )

i'm trying to set up the system at home, and fetch the packages/cd images

from outside

what i know : the default installer ( which has gnome desktop ) gives me the option to install a web server and an sql server,

i was able to find that the web server is apache,

what i wish to know : do i already have the installers from the single

cd installers or should i go ahead and download the tarballs for php and

mysql? ( btw, i'm having problems downloading these tarballs so i'm hoping someone can tell me if php and mysql are in one of the 21 cds for debian, because i found it easier downloading these images through jigdo )

help is greatly appreciated, i have not really found any info on what the 21 package cds contain...

Here's how to find what's in a Debian CD, if that helps:

With apt you only really needed to download one CD (the default one with GNOME).

apt-get install xfce4
apt-get install kde

tada... GNOME, XFCE4 and KDE all on one install. Requires less internet than downloading all separately too .

RE LAMP: I found the following page useful, even on Lenny (as opposed to sarge). Debian Administration :: LAMP on Sarge (Apache2, PHP5, MySQL5, phpMyAdmin, Smarty, ADODB)

Cheers,

will be looking into this... i was somehow expecting to be pointed to the number of the cd that would contain all that i need to get a LAMP package working... everywhere else is see apt-get that's configured to install from the net...

My link says how to do that, doesn't it?
