Hi Eric,
I'm on dialup; it would take me a year to download a DVD so I don't know
what's on it. However, the CD has the installation manual so I'm
assuming that the DVD does as well. In case it didn't, go to
http://www.debian.org/ and click on Getting Debian, which takes
you to:
http://www.debian.org/distrib/
Read that page then click on installation manual and download the
correct one. Then read the whole thing.
You'll find that there are several ways to do an install:
boot the CD/DVD
boot a floppy
boot a USB stick
boot from a spare partition on a spare hard drive
boot from a local network
The instructions of all of these options are in the manual.
Since you have the DVD, you can use that for packages but you need to
set up a means of booting so that you can get them.
Doug.
