I used purchased DVDs (frequently flash drives) as last resort.

1. a text mode install [including "standard utilities"] using
debian-11.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso .
No bandwidth used.
*HUH* ? ?? ??? ???????????????**6.23*10**23
The first thing that ISO does is connect me to internet
2. apt-get --no-install-recommends install mate-desktop-environment
You have a DVD with that on?
Not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. apt-get install xinit
4. apt-get --no-install-recommends install xorg gparted synaptic pluma
xinit, xorg, gparted and synaptic are on DVD-1.
