Sorry, Varuna. I sent this off-list by mistake. I am now putting it back on
list so that you can gain the benefit of some knowledgeable input.
It depends on whether your main aim at this stage is to get your system up and
running or whether you are after a learning exercise.
I would recommend starting the installation again. You should now have a
painless installation.
Otherwise you will have to select and install all the software you need. You
could edit /etc/network/interfaces and then run tasksel, but it is not as
comprehensive as it is during installation; and that whole process is quite
complicated and probably not a good place to start. I am assuming from your
emails that you are new to Debian?
