When using a DVD as installation source, there is no need to setup
external mirrors and _specially not_ at install time. You better install
the base system with a small set of selected packages and let the
installer finishes. Afterwards, you can install additional packages or
perform an update.
And that approach is valid for any distribution, not just Debian.
