Having assisted quite a few people in their install of Debian I think
I know what you are missing: the Debian System Administrators Manual.
Unfortunately, though such a document is referenced, it does not exist
in non-corporal form (i.e. other Debian users).
Perhaps you can write up your problems (in more detail) and send it onto
the debian-doc mailing list (or similiar).
