Help installing packages (newbie but refusing to give up)



I am a new user and have installed the base system of the stable debian linux on hdb1 and windows 2000 on hda1. I can boot to linux and windows and have lilo configured properly but dselect and tasksel aren't able to find the packages (which are on hda1 in order to install them. Tasksel cant see them at all (is there a config file or something I can point it too) and dselect can see them to tell me whats available. After I go through the million and a half debian packages and choose what I want to install, when I go to install it either looks at a different location or doesn't find what it needs (even though I downloaded everything in the i386 binary directory and fails to install. Thanks for any help
