I don't understand, if you installed already , didn't you select
a bunch of packges ?

Via dselect. It can sometimes be problematic , sometimes smooth.
see many docs at www.debian.org . Be patient looking.
Also do
cd /usr/doc
Then pick a directory (HOWTO is a good one) cd to it and use
less filename
to read a file.
See the linux documentation project on the debian web page. I
think the users guide starts with 'ls' , etc.
