Burn the boot.iso to CD and boot from it . . then:

- DHCP
- "Please fill entries" I filled in: "uranus" on first line ( name of my system ) and "lan" on second line.
- Wait until the connection is made and dialog shows up ( takes a while !!! )
- Question about proxy: leave blank
- When choosing the sources, tell it that you will select the source yourself "Specify the mirror manually"

You DO need the dot at the end of that command !!!
- Boot from the boot-CD we made above
- It will give you a dialog where you want to install from: choose "hard disk"
- The next dialog will ask you from which HD ( if you have 2 )
- After that a dialog will ask you on what partition the files are located
- And the next dialog asks
"Directory or ISO image _________" type "/home/bruno/i586" and press OK
