You're right, I should have checked first :( According to the manpage CD-ROMs are preferred just because apt-cdrom (and probably the equivalent in debian-installer) is adding CD-ROM entries first. This of course means that another solution would be to just change the order of entries ;) Regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
