If you really want to use GNOME, just skip gnome when you install debian, then
add 'deb http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian unstable main'
to your /etc/apt/sources.list, then apt-get update and
apt-get install task-gnome-desktop. I guess that's closer to what you want.
But, hey I'm not sure how well this works with potato, maybe you have to use
woody.

Hmm, do you try this as root or as a normal user? Maybe you have to add your
self into the group which own the device.

It should be there if this is an official Debian potato cd. At least the file
~debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/x11/fvwm_2.2.4-2.deb exist in my
potato-mirror.
