I'm pretty sure you can just make one image.  I haven't done it for months.  
You can just download the diskette images and install the whole thing from 
the net if you want.  This is how I would do it if I needed to install Woody 
again.

I have a set of CDs but I downloaded them in the US where I had a CD burner 
and a fast all you can eat cable connection.  They're six months old now and 
pretty much out of date.

Potato is supposed to be stable and stagnated.  That's the idea.  If you want 
the most stable OS in the history of the computer industry to run a firewall 
or something else that never crashes then you should use Potato.

You can also just install Potato and upgrade to Woody.
