I was.

I was referring to the fact that the two installers get their software from 
different sources, which are indeed in the sources.list. One gets its 
software from the DVDs and has the DVDs in the 
eventual  /etc/apt/sources.list, the other gets its software from the online 
repositories, which is again reflected in the eventual /etc/apt/sources.list.  

You basically understood correctly.  Brian, for some reason ,wants to twist 
what I have suggested in order to make identical two things which are not.

But it isn't worth carrying this on.  Let Brian have his point.
