cd number

[Daniel Sarrazin]

There is 52cd and I downloaded 4. Do I need to install all 52cd to have a secure distribution?

Security is not determined by a number :-)

No, the first CD is all that is needed to install a normal system. Other CD's contain additional installable software, if you need it.

Depends what you mean by "secure". If you don't wish to connect to the
internet to install packages, then you may need more disks than you
already have. However, the further away from disk #1 you get, the less
popular are the packages on the disk.

TBH, just connecting to the 'net to install and or update software is a
lot less hassle as the software packages at the Debian repos are all
key-signed to reduce the likelihood of tampering.
