[Working]
Media Change: Please insert the disc labeled 'Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 r0 
   _Potato_ - Official i386 Binary-2 (20000814)' in the drive '/cdrom/' 
   and press enter

[Working]
Err cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 r0 _Potato_ - Official i386 Binary-1 
   (20000814)] stable/main freetype2 1.3.1-1

   Wrong CD

This is what I meant when I said that  apt-get can't find freetype. It
actually even knows where to get it already, it just doesn't ask for
the correct CD to be inserted.
