+You should be aware that especially the Desktop task is very large.
+Especially when installing from a normal CD-ROM in combination with a
+mirror for packages not on the CD-ROM, the installer may want to retrieve
+a lot of packages over the network. If you have a relatively slow
+Internet connection, this can take a long time. There is no option to
+cancel the installation of packages once it has started.

+Even when packages are included on the CD-ROM, the installer may still
+retrieve them from the mirror if the version available on the mirror is
+more recent than the one included on the CD-ROM. If you are installing
+the stable distribution, this can happen after a point release (an update
+of the original stable release); if you are installing the testing
+distribution this will happen if you are using an older image.
