You can use a non-netinstall CD or DVD to install a text-only 
environment, then boot and then complete the installation with a package 
manager. You may either limit yourself to the packages within the CD or 
DVD or add an online repository.

You can also boot a optical disk image from GRUB. I recommend this to 
avoid wasting an optical disk.
