On one installation the installer requested if I would like to use the 
CDROM as a repository and put this line in sources.list which I later 
commented out because I didn't want to have to keep searching for the 
CD.

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Buster_ - Official Snapshot amd64 
DVD Binary-1 20180326-04:08]/ buster contrib main
