    t is not necessary to download all of the images for your architecture. The packages are sorted by popularity: The first CD/DVD contains the installation system and the most popular packages. The second one contains slightly less popular ones, the third one even less popular ones, etc. You will probably only need the first DVD (or the first two CDs) unless you have very special requirements. (And in case you happen to need a package later on which is not on one of the CDs/DVDs you downloaded, you can always install that package directly from the Internet.)

    Download first two CDs only. All packages necessary for a Desktop Machine are in first two CDs. You can install other stuff later on easily.

    Click on BURN IMAGE To DISK option in your CD Burner and select downloaded .iso image. All .iso images are bootable by default, Insert CD and boot from it.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    As said before you will likely only need the first two cds. I always use the netinstall cd when I have a good internet connection and my network card is recognized by the linux kernel.
