+Installation from a directory on a filesystem that has already been
+mounted. If the options available for mounting things automatically
+are inadequate for your needs you'll need to get a shell command
+prompt (for example by switching VT using Alt-F<n> or quitting
+dselect) and use it to mount the filesystem before continuing.
+
+The area you're installing from should contain the Packages.gz file
+from each distribution area being installed (usually stable, contrib
+and non-free) as well as the corresponding binary/*/*.deb files.
+
+The easiest way to do get this is to make a (partial) copy of the
+distribution site's directory hierarchy, if possible.
