I have the 4 CD Linux Slackware 96, and quite frankly, I would avoid
it at all costs.. Apart from very bugy CD's (with half the files on
one CD unreadable..) it sets up all the wrong permissions on files,
devices, etc,etc..

Apart from that it's a good start/intro to linux...(I would recomend
getting Red Hat 4.1, but then again you don't want to fork out any
more money, which is fair enough...)

Slackware it'self should only take up 1 cd, with the others merely
being the source code and site mirrors....I would just use the 2 CD's
you have..as the 4 CD pack is just a slightly larger extension of what
you should already have....

a mirror of sunsite and of some other site (never used it so I can't
remember what site)
