Yep, that's what got me thinking... if I plug the Ethernet cord in BEFORE
booting up, what happens then? Problem solved!

No. As I wrote: (bold added)
If you boot up a fresh install of Debian & AFTER you boot up, plug in your
Ethernet cable & try to add software, Debian asks for the install disk. --> IF
YOU PLUG IN ETHERNET *BEFORE* YOU BOOT UP IT (Package Manager) WILL LOOK ONLINE
FOR SOFTWARE <--
Don't mean to shout, but I was clearly not clear! A few people didn't
understand what I meant.
