newbie question net install

#1 Post by brlmedia »

hi all, been lurking on here reading posts, etc, having a little linux knowledge i'd like to try debian, started small with the net install, being on dsl i'll grab the rest, i just installed debian, the sarge net installer, yes i'm at the command line, just after reading here i do not know what to start pulling down first, all i have gotten so far is xfree86-common? i know i need some other xfree86 packages, if someone could lead me from here it would be appreciative

thank you
brad

edit - after reading some more, i just added ftp.debian.org to my sources.list and im downloading the desktop environment packages now
thanks!

if you want a gui you need to get x-window-system, x-window-system-core and a desktop enviroment (read kde, gnome, xfce) and you're done
