This is only a very minimalistic Operating System/Installation 
CD, nearly everything has to be downloaded from the internet.
You should know what you do, when you use this.

These are the release CD's. You will need at least disc1. The 
others contain collections of useful software and information.

Contains the stuff of the four CD's

A live-file-system, i.e. you can run the OS from CD without 
installing it to your harddisk - not very complete, but nice for 
testing.
