None of the packages seem to be on the CD:
basic stuff like networking should be on the first install CD/DVD. extra stuff like MATE might be on later CDs, or you can install from the net once you've got networking running again. what kind of internet connection do you have? adsl? in that case, if your linux box manages the adsl connection, you'll need the pppoe package installed...or if your adsl modem handles the connection, just a dhcp client. for cable, again probably just a DHCP client, configured to use the NIC connected to your cable modem. depending on your network chipset, you may also need non-free firmware packages installed, e.g. most realtek NICs need the firmware-realtek package.

what's the dropbox url for? i'm not going to sign up for an account with them just to view a jpeg. and why a jpeg? what's wrong with using text?
I think I might have to back up and do a fresh install...
