  yurikoles, maybe you're right, but this is a bug in my opinion.

  Suppose that someone installs just the base system and not the desktop packages. This could be done for example on a server.
  After rebooting the user is stuck since he/she cannot install anything else from the CDROM.
  The user needs to be quite proficient in Linux to know how the apt system works, to know about its source lists, etc..

  A beginner or even an advanced Windows user with less experience with Linux would find this situation very frustrating.
  I believe the CDROM should be added in one of the first steps.

  Could you please confirm the bug so that someone looks at it ?
