Comments/Problems:
The install process of Etch is much better than that of Sarge.
I have two things to report though:
1) There should be an offline installation mode for people who
do not want to use the network to download packages. I was prompted
whether I wanted to use a Debian mirror to download packages from, and
I answered no. Hence I was able to skip the addition of a Debian
mirror to sources.list. However I could not make the installer skip the
downloading of packages from Debian's security mirror. There should
be a way to skip the downloading of packages from the security mirror.
The user should be asked whether the use of the Internet connection
is wanted.
2) I downloaded the first two CDs of the installation set. However,
I was not asked whether I wanted to install anything from another cd.
In Sarge the user was prompted whether an additional cd should be
scanned or not. It looks like this functionality was removed from
Etch.

Thank you for submitting your report. Both issues you mention are known
issues and are already on our todo list for Lenny. Therefore I'm closing
your report. Good luck with the new system.
Cheers,
FJP
