sets or with the KDE or Xfce CD.
During the installation you will be asked if the installer should scan any
additional CDs. At that point you have the option to insert CD1 of a regular
CD/DVD set for Etch. If you choose to do so any programs included on that CD

as you like can be scanned. This CD can thus be thought of as "CD0" of the
full CD/DVD set.
