Stuck in BIOS

okay,i made a grave mistake in installing the base bare bones install of debian.

here i have edited this from the original.
this morning when i got home from work i did some searching and then just shut the system down via the mechanical off on switch. waited a few minutes and then restarted via the mechanical switch, the BIOS key options came to again i hit f9 and sliped in the Debian Mint CD.
i will make Debian a side project. and in future adventures comb the files and recognize what has been downloaded besides the base system and work with that.
Thanks

dh_installchangelogs

DH_INSTALLCHANGELOGS(1) 					     Debhelper						   DH_INSTALLCHANGELOGS(1)

NAME

       dh_installchangelogs - install changelogs into package build directories

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installchangelogs [debhelperoptions] [-k] [-Xitem] [upstream]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installchangelogs is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing changelogs into package build directories.

       An upstream changelog file may be specified as an option.

       If there is an upstream changelog file, it will be be installed as usr/share/doc/package/changelog in the package build directory. If the
       changelog is a html file (determined by file extension), it will be installed as usr/share/doc/package/changelog.html instead, and will be
       converted to plain text with html2text to generate usr/share/doc/package/changelog.

FILES

       debian/changelog
       debian/NEWS
       debian/package.changelog
       debian/package.NEWS
	   Automatically installed into usr/share/doc/package/ in the package build directory.

	   Use the package specific name if package needs a different NEWS or changelog file.

	   The changelog file is installed with a name of changelog for native packages, and changelog.Debian for non-native packages.	The NEWS
	   file is always installed with a name of NEWS.Debian.

OPTIONS

       -k, --keep
	   Keep the original name of the upstream changelog. This will be accomplished by installing the upstream changelog as changelog, and
	   making a symlink from that to the original name of the changelog file. This can be useful if the upstream changelog has an unusual
	   name, or if other documentation in the package refers to the changelog file.

       -Xitem, --exclude=item
	   Exclude upstream changelog files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being installed.

       upstream
	   Install this file as the upstream changelog.
