Did clean install of Talking Debian, No Internet.

To clarify a few things:

1. I downloaded(via ctorrent and burned the following file:

debian-9.5.0-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso

2. When I got to the install additional software step, I did not
select to install any of the half dozen or so desktop environments
offered.

When I tried running nmtui and wicd on the machine with the connection
issues, I found that neither was installed.

Here is some output from ifup -a:

exiting.

Also, how do I get apt to use the repository on the CD if I need to
install something to get the internet up and running?
