The mini series is pre the main series, but iirc even though the main series does continue on from the mini-series it's not absolutely essential viewing. If it is missing from the box set you won't be lost with the first episode. I'm pretty sure the first episode of the series proper also gives a recap of the mini, but I could be wrong about that.

Bevis, I disagree. I think the mini sets the stage for the series, and is therefore required viewing. I think Numf is going to miss out on quite a bit if he does not watch the mini first - IMHO.

If you bought your boxed set from anyone but Best Buy then you most likely got the true release which includes the mini. Which, IMO, you must watch first.
If you bought the Best Buy version of Season 1 then you got screwed. They did a BB on version that did not include the mini and cost just about as much as the regular release that came out a couple of months later.

I agree with those above... I got the Region 1 box set for Christmas, and I had never before seen the miniseries. Among other things, Adama's speech which gets referenced from time-to-time and seeing Roslin come into her own are totally required viewing. And once you see what Six does do a helpless innocent early on... you won't look at her the same way ever again. I highly recommend seeing it.

i don't actually know what i have already !!??
got 2 lots of DVD's this Christmas and last Christmas off my brother, but what with all the other TV series i have on DVD, that i'm currently watching, i haven't got round to them as yet !!
the first DVD that i have is on 1 disc [ and has a running time of 2hrs 55mins ]
the second set is 4 DVDs and is classed as Season One [ so i presume that the first one is the mini series ?? ]
guess i'll have to get round to these soon, as all the reviews i've read give it the thumbs up !!

Billy's working tonight, so I should be able to watch the mini series. I must admit I'm looking forward to it.

Ah...I knew I made a boo-boo after reading the thread a bit more closely, much obliged to you for the clarification, Sean
