Due to their large size, the packages aren't (can't be) included on the first CD. To install packages, you'll need a working Internet connection. Select FTP as your media type so that you may download the files from a remote server. Alternatively, you can purchase the 4 CD set from Walnut Creek, which will have a large subset of the packages ready on CDs. I do not believe there are ISO images for CDs 2, 3, and 4.
