Comments/Problems:

I'm trying to install Debian "testing" (etch) from a set of CDs that I
created from the jigdo ISO image files found at
"http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/jigdo-cd/".  The
install process starts fine, but I run into a problem when the installer
program asks for an archive mirror.  I don't want to install from the
network, since this is a stand alone PC.  Is there a way to tell the
installer program to use the CDs and not a network mirror?  It seems to
me that the installer which is booted from the first CD should assume
you're using CDs and not the network, otherwise you wouldn't have
bothered to download all those CDs.
I would consider this a bug and that’s why I’ve submitted it for your
evaluation.  I put “?” in the network questions above because I can
actually get past the network questions by choosing not to configure
the network, but that choice gives me problems later.  There is an
Ethernet card in the PC which is not connected to anything.  I
like the new feature of being able to cancel the DHCP process.
With this new installer, I wasn't given the choice of the apt method
to use.  I’ve installed Debian (sarge) many times, and I can get the
installer to ask me what apt method (e.g. http, cdrom, ftp) to use.

Thank you,
Deric

[...]

It should assume you are using CDs *and* the network to get any
important updates.

Anyway, the installer works without network access now.
