I'm now at the apt-cdrom utility but the first results aren't the desired ones, I keep on trying, but just wanted to give you an answer the same day. I wonder why the USB stick after the installation and the reboot wasn't recognized automatically as an apt source. He had been there during installation. There are two similar lines in apt source (referring to the DVD.iso) being the only difference that one ends with "contrib main" the other one with "main contrib". These lines were added by the installer during installation. I will keep you-up-to date about my attempts. I hope I'll have it resolved soon.
