apt-get debian-cd installs openoffice.org!!
Help!
Last week while trying to install openoffice my drive ran out of space and the
install failed. I tried to remove openoffice but it says I should try
reinstalling it.

I added a new hard drive but I can't use the drive until I install debian on it.
to do that I think I need to create a custom install CD. I want to install debian-cd
and debootstrap but apt-get debian-cd is trying to install openoffice!
