Question apt configuration in Debian install on VMware


I am trying to install Sarge Debian 3.1 on VMware 5.5. I installed kernel 2.6. I am now at apt configuration and the installation is asking for another Debian CD. I installed using under CD-ROM the ISO image (I have the 14 CD iso images downloaded on my HD.) When I try to give the next CD by changing the ISO image to the next CD image it does not take it. It writes "found 2 package indexes and 0 sorce indexes." Then it stated, "provide a name for this disc, such as debian 2.1r1 disk 1" I wrote "debian disk 3". Apt config answered "Non-debian CD-ROM detected. The CD ROM drive contains a non-debian CD" Then the installation goes back to choosing the "method of apt (the Debian package management tool)should use to access the Debian archive." Then listing CD-ROM, ftp, http, filesystem or edit sources list by hand.

What do I do now or what should I have done.
Thanks - I'm newbie to Debian and VMware.

I was sad no one was able to help me but finally solved problem myself. Reading on internet helps! Just choose the ftp or http option and it does the rest itself.
