Comments/Problems:
When installing the base system, the installation seemed to stall on
'Retrieving coreutils'. I waited for more than half an hour, but the
installer did not continue. On /dev/tty2, I could see that a 'cp'-command was
running.
When I tried to manually copy the file (coreutils) the shell also blocked.
The CD checked out OK. After I installed Debian using netboot, I tried to copy
this file from the same CD with the same CD-reader and this worked without a
problem.
