No, Michele didn't answer his question directly - but I think he may 
have given him a better answer. As the original poster is clearly a DSL 
user on a plan with a cap, using net install is probably going to get 
him up and running faster and with lower usage of his capacity than 
anything else he might try.

Of course, he may in fact WANT to have ISOs for some special reason 
(the machine he wants to install Debian on doesn't have any connection 
to his DSL, for instance) in which case, ignore me.
