I found the problem:
the sources list file is correctly created (without # of course).
Then the dialog comes to network mirror and security updates, while
the mirror could not be found as I have no network card on this
laptop. Because of this a message came up saying that the entries
for security updates are added to sources list but commented out.
So far so good.
But the main entry pointing onto the cd is commented out, too!!!
I deleted the # by hand and installation completed successfully.
