The two CDs I have are actually two DVDs that came out of a magazine, including the complete Debian Sarge 3.1 stable. I have no more installation media. I thought they were including everything I'd need, but instead, if I understand what you say, they are not sufficient to fully satisfy all the installation needs with Debian Sarge. Sorry if I'm not technically correct. Does anybody know how I could burn a source CD for the two I have?
