It's the additional packages and sources for all the software in the
repository
so you can update and install stuff via local cd-rom drive. It is excessive
and confusing at first glance, I agree. I just use the ftp install iso and
apt-get everything else as I need it.

> Good morning,
>
> I have a 2-cd set of Debian cds somewhere. From these 2 cds I've installed
> Debian a few times. I've misplaced them and when I went to the Debian site
> to download new ISO images, I find there are 14 cds to download.
>
> A. I didn't download 2 dvd isos before - I don't have a dvd burner
> B. I didn't download any kind of netinstall because I've installed from
> these 2 cds without the benefit of being attached to a network
>
> So what did I have? Why have the 2 cds grown into 14? I had a fairly recent
> version of debian (sarge I think). I'm just confused.
