installing without internet

[Jude DaShiell]

You'll be given the opportunity to pick an installation source. 
Internet is one option but cd/dvd is another.  When you pick cd/dvd, 
you'll be prompted to insert each dvd in the dvd drive so debian can 
index what you have.  Once all of that is done, to install a package 
you'll be prompted for one or both of those cd/dvd's if the install you 
want needs files from both of them.  To move over to internet for your 
source, you're going to have to comment out active lines in 
'/etc/apt/sources.list and add in internet repository lines to select 
mirrors and distributions.  Fortunately for you, a tool exists to help 
you select your best internet mirrors.  The security mirror is separate 
from the debian main mirror and there is also a multimedia mirror that 
can be installed in /etc/apt/sources.list.  Once you have changed 
/etc/apt/sources.list, you want to run aptitude update first then 
aptitude safe-upgrade to get updates those dvd's don't have.
