don''t you dare download those images.

debian should add a giant

link someplace...

Why do I not download the images? The net install looks like it''ll take forever, and if I screw up the install with the images, I won''t have to redownload later..

Since you don''t need all 12 discs for your average user install. You probably only need the first couple. Even so, a net install means you only download the packages you need, not the entire repository.

will it not install faster off of iso's and not have to be restarted if I screw up the install.. Is there anywhere that shows the contents of the CD's so I can see which ones I want?

EDIT: I'm taking the 2dvd option seeing how 2 dvd-r's here cost less than 12 cdr's

Well I don't have enough hard drive space on my linux partitian to download full DVD (d'oh), and jigdo doesn't allow more than 2GB downloads to windows part, so I went with net install, only it didn't work, first off were the error messages I got through the install,
2 missing kernal modules:
sis900(my sound card, maybe this explains why mandrake doesn't like it)
IDEscsi(Not sure about this)

EDIT:Got the net install to work, but damn after 4 hours of install time, I had to leave to actually get to school.. I'm hoping this is a much better improvement..
