Comments/Problems:

I. The network couldn't be configured because I use PPPoE, i managed to 
configure it after the reboot (this is a known issue, I've read on the 
webpage).
II. The base system didn't install, because:
  1. Deboostrap error: no such script /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/etch
  solution: I copied the /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/sid to etch
  2. Couldn't download: 
at, exim4, ipchains, mailx, exim4-config, exim4-base, exim4-daemon-light
  note: the packages aren't on the netinst CD!
  solution: I removed the packages from the install script
  3. Couldn't meet dependencies of initrd-tools:
  cramfsprogs, dash missing from the install script
  solution: I added those packages to the install script
  4. Couldn't meet dependencies of whiptail and other packages that 
depend on libslang2
  solution: I added libslang2 to the install script

III. Apt-setup should ask if I want to add more sources when adding an 
http source, but instead it just went to the next step(choosing packages 
to install)
 solution: I added the local mirrors, and cdroms first,(in this case 
apt-setup asked me if I want more sources added)  and then the 
http source

Note: when I downloaded the netinst CD image yesterday it was the 
newest, today I see that a new one has been added, I haven't tested that 
one. You can see the URL of the CD I tested on top

Thanks you,
Edwin
