Hi Jacob,

Download the full x86 iso that most closely matches your system. I assume you are in the Sarge repository? The complete Debian Sarge systgem includes a number of CDs due to the fact that it includes 15000+ applications.

If you have a fast internet connection, I would download the net install version and then install from the internet. A "full" install with a very complete system will take an hour or longer even with a quite fast system.

fos....

PS. I hope you are having a good summer!
