Check /etc/apt/source.list and see if it has listed the CDs you entered. If not, use `apt-cdrom add' for each CD-ROM that has packages. Just after the source CD selection it (IIRC) presents you either with: a. anXious - to configure your X server b. tasksel - to select the packages you wish to install In your situation I'd run tasksel (apt-get install tasksel) and select any appropriate tasks. If you need to/would like to check out anXious `apt-get install xviddetect'. After that the installer installs its stuff and reboots and presents you with first login. It then recommends you run dselect (or you can do `apt-get -u dselect-upgrade' -- but you should do one of them). Once that is done you will be finished.
