But as the page http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/ write:

Up to 180 MB in size, this image is suitable for writing to small
CD-R(W) media, 80 mm/3.1" in diameter. The image contains the
installer and a small set of packages which allows the installation of
a (very) basic system.

If I install a basic system, like before(may be feb), it should not
_requires_ an Internet connection!
