Is it recognized at boot up (try "more | dmesg" if you missed it)?  If 
so, just mount it before going into dselect.  ("mount -t iso9660 /dev/???? 
/cdrom", the ???? should be apparent from dmesg.  My ide cdrom uses 
hdc.)  If it's not recognized, you may have to recompile your kernel to 
get the cdrom working.  If all that did work, you may want to look at 
"man fstab" to make it more automatic.

How are you connecting to the net (or did you connect)?  Also, did you 
set up the network correctly during installation?

Good luck,
Brandon
