Comments/Problems:
-The installation was performed in FRENCH. No problem, every task was performed.
-BUG: The Machine name Phoenix-VM was not accepted the first time (it seems that - is not accepted), but validating a second time, and the installation process is performning next step.
I'm not sure, but it seems that this name (Phoenix-VM) was simply ignored: cat /etc/hostname is giving localhost ; uname is giving Linux

-As installation source, I gave cd as I didn't configured the network, but the system was still searching updates on the network

-BUG: The cd was to be find in /dev/cdrom1 (2nd cdrom drive), that is normally mounted in /cdrom1/
but the installer is searching in /cdrom/ at package installation step (after package selection with tasksel, but no choice selected)

Feel free to ask more information, or to reproduce the test. 

Thanks a lot for the hard work!!
