Hi,
first, the test image of wheezy came with software speech installed, which
is why I wanted it.
second, it took me a year to find anyone who could create these images
for me.
and I cannot burn the stable squeeze cd myself, no means as my main
computer only has dialup.
Agreed, had I not been told that Debian would not care which method I
used, it might have been smarter to ignore having speech for the install,
but I have what I have.
third on your question, I would rather have all of debian than not enough,
even if useless to me. I will have no way after the fact to upgrade
anything...and am not a speed junkie smiles.
As expressed, the situation is not something I can shift without a grand
loss of time, I am serious about how long it took me to find a person able
to burn what I have.
thanks,
Karen

Here is the situation.
I have a complete set of squeeze images in DVD, I do mean complete.
I have no network connection in the computer I am installing debian on, so
wish to install all of these images, so as not to need to update any
packages.
You hardly will need the packages from all DVDs, I suspect that there's
too much software you don't need. Don't install all images ;).
Better more debian than I might need, than not enough.
Wrong! You want 1000 daemons running, doing resource hungry operations
that will slow down performance, even if they should be completely
useless for you?

I was told that there would be a way to start the install with wheezy from
cd, but finish from the desired squeeze images
At least a newbie shouldn't try to install "stable" by starting to
install "testing" first.

Get the first install CD for Debian stable, don't use the first CD for testing.
