Means you don't have alsa installed (I thought there may be a conflict
with a previously installed version).

Ok, this is it. You should have at least two cdroms, one for the Core
(kernel and alsa) and another for the applications. You should feed both
to "apt-cdrom add" before starting the install. Alsa-tools needs fltk,
which is on the other cdrom. If you installed Fedora from the
"planetized" Fedora Core cdroms then you should feed those to "apt-cdrom
add" as well before starting, otherwise you will also get missing
dependencies unless you have done a full install of Fedora Core
(installed all packages).
