For instance, in ~/.xsession

Make sure ~/.xsession is executable (chmod 700 ~/.xsession).

I would like to get a complete gnome install (and windomaker).

So where do I find out what apt-get packages I should get ?

When i start, i´m asked to insert DISC 2.It installs
And it asks me to insert DISC 1. When i insert it, it says:
