I know this isnt a ubuntu related quesion but it is similar... I am doing a fresh install of debian on an older box using the i386 netinstall disk... however after I choose where to download from (for select and install software) A dialog box pops up with the header [!] Configuring libss10.9.8 with the contents
/cdrom/:Please insert the disk labeled: 'Debian GNU/Linux 5.03 _Lenny_ - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1 20090906-12:06' in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter

I do not understand why it is asking for another disk b/c it is suppost to download everything...

Does anybody have any idea what I should do for this?

are you using the right iso?
should be this 1:
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.3/i386/iso-cd/debian-503-i386-businesscard.iso

use the expert install for a sudo system. it's just like a regular install just more questions.
