I usualy use this one.
http://www.phy.olemiss.edu/debian-cd/woody-i386-1.iso It includes the
linux base and apt.  Once the base system is installed I usualy run:
`apt-get install lynx wget vim xserver-xfree86 xbase-clients
xfonts-base icewm mozilla`
and anything else I want to be installed.  Have fun with Debian.
