Minimal Install for Linux Distro

[Tarrant64]

I need a minimum install cd for I believe Debian(woody???). I look around but only see it for certain distro's of linux. I thought there was one for Debian. Also, there are about 7 ISO images to download for these distro's, and I just want to install with one cd(hence mini install). Do I just download the 1st cd iso and that's that? I think i remember the other cd's just being packages or something.

TIA

Actually you would probably be better off using a sarge netinstall from http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/

Thanks for the responses.
So is the netinstall like the minimum install? ( i haven't touched linux distro's in like 6 months. have it installed on a machine and haven't touched it since, not even updates). Just download the iso and burn to cd and good to go right?

He said minimal install, AFAIK ubuntu doesn't let you choose what's installed (maybe in expert mode) and so far it's really just Debian sarge with a nice set of default packages.
