Hi!

    I was trying to install debian through the net-inst cd. I
installed it fine.  But kde and gnome are not getting installed.  And
so are some others like gedit.  The contrib and non-free folder in


use apt-setup and configure the debian repository from iitm or from
ftp.debian.org.
then use apt-get install kde/gnome for installing kde or gnome.

 ftp.iitm.ac.in/debian/dists/testing

    is missing. Could this be a reason.
