Your apt knows only of one source for packages, and that is the CD1. You

I've only got one CD, will try to download second.
If you already have more than the first CD then you could add it with
apt-cdrom (see 'man apt-cdrom' for more details). Otherwise, if your
internet connection is working under Debian, you should uncomment
(remove the # in front of) the line starting with 'deb' and also add
something like:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian etch main contrib
Replace 'us' with your country code if necessary or check the mirror
list for a mirror close to you (http://www.debian.org/mirror/list)
After that run 'apt-get update' and try installing openoffice again.
I don't have a network connection, a win modem is the only one I have
and I am currently working to try compile the win modem source code.
I'll have to install kernel header files to do it. But first, I have to
learn how to install packages in Debian.
P.S. Is there a reason for using apt-get? aptitude is the recommended
frontend and also has a nice text interface if you start it without
options.
I am new to Debian :-), just follow instructions from people who helped
me through the package installation. If you could give me aptitude
commands for package installation, I'll try it.
Thank you.
Jim
