Most people try not to download the whole thing. If you only need the first three, then download them. Then you have everything you need to start installing.
I would say most people will download the whole thing. If they were interested in only downloading what they needed, we only would need either boot.iso or CD1.
1. Boot.iso and CD1 are not "complete". If you want to install a "normal" system, you will need CD1-3 AFAIK.
I understand they are not "complete". I was refereing to just downloading what you need. For many people CD 4-5 are needed due to the language they want to install in. I asume just downloading CD1-3 instead of all 6 is due to not wanting to download what you don't need. If less download is what you are after, then a download of boot.iso _might_ be a better choice. This again depends on how many you want to install. On 1 machine boot.iso is more efficient. And if you want to install a "normal" system, boot.iso is enough as well as CD1. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.
