Yep, that's what got me thinking... if I plug the Ethernet cord in BEFORE booting up, what happens then? Problem solved!

No. As I wrote: (bold added)

If you boot up a fresh install of Debian & AFTER you boot up, plug in your Ethernet cable & try to add software, Debian asks for the install disk. --> IF YOU PLUG IN ETHERNET *BEFORE* YOU BOOT UP IT (Package Manager) WILL LOOK ONLINE FOR SOFTWARE <--

Don't mean to shout, but I was clearly not clear! A few people didn't understand what I meant.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

That is what I read, was on my way to doing that & said to myself, I wonder if I put the Ethernet cord in 1st... yeah sources.list, been reading it's the same as adding to "Software Sources", but faster if you know what you're doing.
