i have been having issues installing and os i finally went with debian netinstall so now i have the bare mimumam system files that i can have. how can i use a full version of debian to install the desktop enviroment without a total reinstall. and i cant really use networking at the moment.

My personal opinion is that installing again from scratch with the regular Debian installation CD/DVD might be the quicker/easier route, but if you want to install extra packages onto the current system directly from the Debian disks, check this HowTo for adding a CD-ROM to your sources.list file:
APT HOWTO - Basic Configuration
Once you have successfully setup your sources.list file, you should be able to use APT to add any extra packages that you might want directly from the CD/DVD.
For in depth details about using APT, check the APT Manual:
APT HOWTO - Introduction
Hope it all goes well and you have lots of fun with your new system.oz
