To start, go to www.debian.org and read the installation section. It explains what the packages are for and how to install them. It also explains setting up a machine from scratch with no OS on it. The basic path is to grab a set of boot disks, install these to have a base system and then use the network to install the packages from an ftp site. Unless you have a fast connection it would be worth your time to buy a CD. cheapbytes.com and lsl.com both have extremely low priced Debian CD's. I paid four dollars US for mine.
