It sounds like you've only installed the base portion of Debian (which is all that will fit on the 7 or 10 floppies). After the reboot after this base installation, you should be asked to create a password for root and to create a normal user account, etc. One of these steps is to choose what type of computer you are setting up (dial-up from home, network administrator box, etc). If you skipped this step, or if you chose a type that did not include X Windows, you won't have any X11 files on your HD. Of course, to go any farther, you'll have to have access to all the additional files; this means you need some sort of network connection (T1, dial-up, etc) or you'll need all the files available locally (Debian CD-ROM, on another hard drive/partition, etc).
