I did more tests to the problem. The situation is the following. From:
http://www.us.debian.org/CD/netinst/ I downloaded the file debian-7.8.0-i386-netinst.iso. Now I have two possibilities: 1) I burn that file onto CD-ROM and install Debian on PC using that CD-ROM. After the base installation, I do: `aptitude install ppp', the system asks to insert te CD-ROM, installs ppp and, from that moment, I can connect to internet and download the remaining packages. The system is born, it lives its own life. Everything is all right. Instead, 2) I put debian-7.8.0-i386-netinst.iso onto pendrive instead that on CD-ROM, that is more simple, comfortable and practical. Then there are problems. In fact, the base installation is done without problems just the same way as with the CD-ROM. But, after it, if I do: `aptitude install ppp' in order to connect to internet and download the remaining packages, the system requires inserting a CD-ROM and won't see the pendrive. This seems wrong to me because, if it's possibile to install the base Debian system via pendrive, logically it should also be possibile to install other packages like ppp. Then I tried, as someone suggested, to install ppp via expert mode through Debian Installer with the pendrive, but that's not possibile or, anyway, the installation is not as complete as with `aptitude install ppp', so that a connection cannot be established. But the package, complete, *is* there and it *should* be possibile to load it. Whereas it is not.
