We are working on this issue.

You can just back out when you get to mirror selection and skip that step 
when you get to the menu.

For apt-setup (which is run just before you get to selecting tasks), a 
sure way to avoid network sources being added to the sources.list for the  
target system is to delete the generators 50mirror and 90security in
/usr/lib/apt-setup/generators/ before you get to that stage. This will 
make sure that tasksel only uses packages from the CD-ROM.

You will then of course have to add source lines for security support or 
network mirrors manually in the sources.list after the installation is 
finished.
