Whata disk set and release are you using? Woody? Sarge? If Woody,
which net install CD are you using?

What does the file /etc/apt/sources.list contain?

For Woody try something like:

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ woody main non-free contrib
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ woody main non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free

Cheers!
