Installing more packages etc (from DVD)

I have installed Debian on my machine from a DVD, bare minimum system I think. I can log in, but no x windows. How do I install more from the DVD?

Try

Code:

apt-cdrom add

as root. It should prompt you to insert the DVD and add it to the sources.list file. Then,

Code:

apt-get update

apt-get install kde

Instead of KDE, you can pick what you like: fluxbox, gnome, etc. It will install x-windows too as dependencies. Make sure you also install a login manager (kdm, gdm, or xdm) as well.
