I don't know the installation system exactly, but I suppose that there is a list of packages that belong to the base system. The list on the CDROM was probably wrong, so it did not use the net version neither. I booted from CDROM and first tried the CDROM install. After the failure I repeated the base installation process with the network option. I am pretty clueless now. Today it was just a trial, but next week I have to install Debian on a system that is not connected to the internet (not even a modem), so I must find a proper solution. I try to get my old CDs back, install from these and update the system with my new CDs; but that doesn't help the actual problem, doesn't it. Would it help if I sent the jigdo file I used? Maybe some of you guys have the possibility to try the CD image I used as well (www.debian.de -> Debian on CD -> testing -> any mirror -> woody-i386-1.raw, dated March 8 2002).
