How many SLED disks

[PhilGQ]

I have been wanting to give SLED a go so have registered for the trial, however it requires a 7 CD or 1 DVD download.

As Virgin media will kindly throttle my connection if I download the DVD, I was wondering, do i need all the CDs. Does anyone know if the first few cds hold most of the important stuff with the rest holding optional stuff, its of no huge concern as I can leave the computer on while I am at work and get the DVD but if possible without...

Thanks guys, I will download the first disk and take it from there.

I have personally never had a problem with the throttling until last week when I downloaded a DVD beta. My gripe was not that it so long but that my connection was useless afterwords, they say its a 75% throttle but for me it was between 700Kb and completely dropped. I was also unaware that they throttled during the day I though it was evening only, but then it was a bank holiday so I don't blame them for that.

It could be worse I could have ADSL.
