    Tomasz,

I wanted to install Cinnamon + Jessie, and I do not know how to do
this without using the Jessie ISOs.
 https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/

If you know how and it is easy to describe, please list the steps.

Maybe it is as easy as editing /etc/apt/sources.list and changing
wheezy to jessie, and then selecting Cinnamon to install  "apt-get
install cinnamon" ?
deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

George.

I have been running jessie/testing for a while now... 

To get to jessie, ideally you install wheezy, then change your
osurces.list, and then do 

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgarde
