I will say though, that if you haven't read the installation docs, you
should do so as this is surely answered there.

great! progress!
When I log into debian and type
tasksel --new-install
it asks me for choices, of which I checked "desktop" and "standard".
It then asks me to put

okay. Have you registered the cd's with apt? I don't know how this
works, but you have to have the cd's listed in your
/etc/apt/sources.list and you may have to also do some other mojo to
ge tthe recognised. i'm thinking its something like apt-cd or
something like that.
I think apt-cdrom add is what your looking for:)
Wackojacko
I do this, and the message remains. It seems not to be recognizing the
CD. My guess is
that somehow it doesn't recognize the appropriate device. I think some
poking around
said that /dev/cdrom was redefined as "hdr"
I don't think this is causing the problem, but the name of the CD, as
it describes itself,
is slightly different, saying it's "etch" rather than _etch_.
