I have two objectives:

instructions for
the installer, or MY reading of those instructions.
I've bought the 8 DVD set of Debian 6.0.5 and have set aside
a laptop as a testbed. I would divvy up the 80GB drive with
8-10GB for a quasi-static Debian install [some other
experiments, possible supervisor for these tests] and ~40GB
for DVD content [possibly some additional packages]. The
rest would be for the resulting test install and possibly
preserving some log files.
[SNIP the majority of my original post]
Are there other routes to my goals I should investigate?
In this thread, and others, there have been an underlying
assumption/suggestion that I do a netinstall. I do not now,
nor in foreseeable future, have a home network. And as my
only web access at home is dial-up, that is out ;)
QUESTION:
Can someone point me to detailed instructions on setting up
a client and "server" on a single physical computer. As a
primary motivation for this whole project is learning Linux,
I foresee lots of related reading :)
Thanks
