nah...will save that bandwidth for Korean Gems

 

[Faun]

^^Oh yes but Gems are very few and then you can always use spare bandwidth on distros

@Garbagewithoutbin
Lol...I said install whats necessary.

 

[Hitboxx]

Typically a "Airtel" bandwidth. Then update at half the speed.

What if the 31st CD is corrupt? just kidding.

 

[Faun]

^^You need only one cd to install bases system. other cds are just extra goodies.

I bet.. the guys at Linux for You are going to bundle at least 3 DVD's of Debian.. they've done it before.. and the price will be around Rs 125/- .. that's a sweet deal if they will do that..

Unfortunately No, I asked the editor, Rahul Chopra and they might not give all the DVDs but just might give the first DVD.

Debian still contains many old software's (new versions available, but not upgraded yet).

You just need the first CD for a typical Desktop install

Not bad. Just 5 DVDs for an architecture.

You need debian backports and debian volatile repositories if you want OpenOffice 3.0, VLC 0.9, etc BTW.
