a couple of install questions



(newbie to debian)
I have downloaded the iso image burned it and installed the basics and 
used my dsl to provide the rest.
When choosing "simple" from the task installer i'm not sure if im 
given all the options. there is gnome, science mathe and "c" that's 
about it. kde is not available as are fonts to run gnome. the pre-
rolled software configs seem to be missing "desktop environment" 
and "office". could i possible have a bad iso or a development version?

Second. I managed to use dselect and get gnome running. the login 
manager woud'nt let me login as root and i cant reboot or shutdown 
only start with a user. i can change consoles though to shut down.
please recommend a desktop environment login thing(where you choose 
between kde,gnome,etc)

thanks for any suggestions though i will check my image disk and try a 
reinstall.
