_Because_ the DVD1 gets its packages from the DVDs, so during installation
they have to be there, or you have to interrupt the installation, edit the
sources list, and continue choosing your software to complete the
installation. And the net-install CD gets its packages from the Internet and
sets up your sources list to do the same, so you can complete your
installation in one fell sweep. Yes, you need an Internet connection so it
is not suitable for all cases, but an Internet connection does not appear to
be the problem here.
