Then booted the system and commenced with the install. During the install it asks what type of media has the packages. So when I tell it CD, the installer spits out the boot CD and says no CD with packages found. Obviously, the "boot.iso" is exactly that and little or nothing else. The question is, not having a handy internet connection from this machine to the outside world, what do I need to download/burn to install the OS. Do I grab the stage2.img and burn it or are there more/other files required?

I've always downloaded the DVD and have done multiple installs from it.  I don't even look at the CDs, but I would suspect that you would need more then one for an install.
