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

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.
