Sorry, but if the base system can not be installed with the
Netinstall-CD without Network connection, I can not install
some dozen Computers, because the D-I was not able to estabish
a connection.
And, -- Why downloading 650 MByte images, if I need only the
base-system and 10-30 MByte additional packages which are even
not on CD 1?

I think, the Netinstall-CD should continue to install the base
system from the CD IF NO NETWORK CONNECTION IS DETECTED.
