Wow, you took the long, hard route.  The quick route was to burn only
the net-install CD-ROM (180 Mb).  But having all 14 CD-ROMs allows you
to install without a network connection, and this may be a requirement
for you.

If you only have one computer, I suggest you print the relevant parts
of the installation manual so you can read it while installing.

This would be a last resort; yet more CD-ROMs to burn.  The Debian
installer in Sarge is quite easy to use; this is my experience from
past Linux Copy/Install Parties.  Of course, Preben, you probably
never used it.  One of the niceties of Debian is that you only ever
install it once; instead, you just "apt-get upgrade" from release to
relase.

As this is OT for comp.lang.ada, please followup to
debian-boot@lists.debian.org
