IIRC, at that point, you need to point the installer to a Woody repository: that could be local CDROM, NFS, local disk, HTTP, FTP, did I forget anything? Since I've not seen any Woody CDs, your best bet is installing via HTTP or FTP from a Debian mirror. I've once tried to mirror a Debian FTP site on a local disk to install at home, but mirroring Woody is non-trivial. That is because these days, packages are not installed together in a /woody/ subdirectory, but rather in the pool. So you need to follow the Release files to get the inventory of files that make up Woody. Sooo, get yourself a network connection, an IP address, and off you go.
