Bug#362800: debian-installer: cd-rom installer requires online repository
Package: debian-installer
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Today I downloaded the fresh Etch iso image (CD-1, ~650Mb).
When I tried to install, installer correctly recognized media as Etch 'testing' medium
Then installer required to define the online repository to install from
and subsequently, at step of base system install , refused to install saying
something like "dont now how to install - no cd found and mirror is not reachable"
( This PC has NIC but no network )
So I rendered this bug as critical as it does not allow to correctly
install from appropriate medium
