OK. That makes the explanation simple: the CD that you have got probably just does not have any of the packages needed to install a graphical desktop environment included, or at least is missing some essential packages. You will need to add a network mirror in order to be able to install the desktop environment. > > What do you get if you type 'cat /etc/apt/sources/list' at the > > command prompt? > > No such file or directory Sorry, that should have been /etc/apt/sources.list. > Their are 24 packages in the installed list including GNOME and X 11 > no KDE.

I think you are looking at categories, not packages... Please ask for any further help on the debian-user mailing list [1]. What you are seeing is not an installation problem. At most the problem is a broken CD image. Good luck completing your installation. Cheers, FJP [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/
