Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
Jigdo built the DLBD volumes in the normal fashion.
dd copied the .iso files into 64GB USB sticks.
I installed using volume 1. D-I did not ask for volume 2 to be inserted.
I booted and asked apt to install chromium (just an example; I don't use it).
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
apt-get asked for a media change.
An inspection shows sources.listed (bare of any internet repositories, which seems odd) starts with cdrom:
   * What was the outcome of this action?
Even a linux tyro like me can figure how to edit sources.list. This time the lack of Inrelease and Release file didn't stop me. Copy the .iso files, mount them, tell apt allow-insecure=yes, tell it again (Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories "true"; in 00trustcdrom), don't let all the warning messages to stop me, and it appears to work.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
I think treating this install as a minimal net (CD) would work better. That is, I tried that once during the bookworm testing, and files not in the installer volume are then downloaded.

And thanks.

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
   Me and other users where installing Debian, on the Centro Linux
   computer lab, because we wanted to provide the fastest possible
   experience to the attendees making multiple installations in
   parallel during our activitiy, we used the DVD installer image
   and not the net-install image.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   We installed Debian using the DVD image, and afterwards we used
   taskel to install aditional software on Debian.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
   The outcome was tasksel getting stuck on an infinite loop, while it
   kept trying to reach the repository on the DVD, which did not existed

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
   We exepected that the installation was completed and the DVD got
   removed afterwards, or that in the end the installer asked if we
   wanted to keep it or remove it.
