I've heard the kernels are on the last Woody CD (I've never tried it). The other applications seem to be spread over the CDs. You can look on the CDs and try to figure out what CDs contain the applications you want, but the only way to make sure that you can install all packages is to copy all CDs.

If you try it for speed reasons you shouldn't use the CDs. An application is downloaded only once and automatically cached on the server. If you have much clients with the same applications the "normal" way won't be much slower but the software more current.

After creating the index copy the 2 lines shown at "Package sources" to a new package sources list.

Click on Packages -> Package sources
Copy the 2 lines is the text box
Select "Debian" as distribution
Click on "Select"
Enter a new name under "Package source name"
Enable the desktop (at leas Textmode & X) that are supported by the CDs
Click on "Save"

Noe you can use the sources list for installing a new client.
