I used the dselect program to install additional programs at that point. However, I am having trouble with the "[A]ccess" method. It shows a "*cdrom" with some other stuff, such as floppy, NFS, etc., but there is no multi_cd option whatsoever on there. From reading sources on the "installation howto", it recommends using that option to further install packages, because I believe the CDROM option is becoming deprecated. I've even tried to use the CDROM method, but every time I give it the exact urls, it goes back asking for the same thing, like "main/i-386", or "contrib/i-386", so I give it the exact parameters, but doesn't go through.
