No .debs necessary. Press the third key from the left on the second
row from the bottom on your keyboard. Variants are also available;
look for keys on your keyboard labeled "shift", "control" (or "ctrl"),
and "alt".

Seriously, debian-mentors is more for new maintainers. Your question
is more appropriate in debian-user.
And, to answer your question after such pain, you should be able to
install X from your CD using "dselect". At a minimum, you'll need
"xlib6g" (which is probably already installed), "xfree86-common", one
or more "xfonts" packages, and an "xserver" package for your video
card. Oh, and a window manager; these are usually named with a "wm"
at the end, although several popular ones won't be.
