Fair comment, not got a problem with the above paragraph, but, theres always a 
but, When someone is advertised on debian.org as an authorised outlet, (there 
site says cheaplinux.co.uk), (I think) (the invoice is Definite Software Ltd 
based in Stockport), you pay £30.00 plus £2.15 delivery I was expecting 
something similar to the Suse Pro 9.2 box, Thermal printed discs etc. Even 
the manual that came with the discs is a hand bound jobby I think £30.00 is a 
bit steep for two discs.

Ah, good question, today has highlighted what a D%£@ head I am!
As I said before I'm loading this on VMware and I was having trouble with the 
3.0r2 discs I downloaded myself so I thought I know if I get the DVD that 
will have everything on one disk so I wont have to keep mucking about. 
Little did I know I was putting the wrong commands in! all I needed was 
tasksel and I could have been where I am today last week!

Keeping in mind my error in how the discs were related and thinking that I 
needed all the files in one (say) folder I thought I had to get a DVD.
I didn't think anyone would have the DVD, and I didn't want to ask 20 billion 
questions regarding installation as I should know how to do that by now, but 
at first Debian had me beat.
