You'll be given the opportunity to pick an installation source. Internet is one option but cd/dvd is another. When you pick cd/dvd, you'll be prompted to insert each dvd in the dvd drive so debian can index what you have. Once all of that is done, to install a package you'll be prompted for one or both of those cd/dvd's if the install you want needs files from both of them. To move over to internet for your source, you're going to have to comment out active lines in '/etc/apt/sources.list and add in internet repository lines to select mirrors and distributions. Fortunately for you, a tool exists to help you select your best internet mirrors. The security mirror is separate from the debian main mirror and there is also a multimedia mirror that can be installed in /etc/apt/sources.list. Once you have changed /etc/apt/sources.list, you want to run aptitude update first then aptitude safe-upgrade to get updates those dvd's don't have.
