I'm fairly sure that each CD is directly apt'able, so you could just mount each of the images on your 'server' machine inside the document root for your webserver (or ftp server if you prefer), then point apt on the client machine at each mounted image (that means 7 entries in your sources.list). If you're willing to put in a bit more effort you could use something like apt-proxy or apt-ftparchive to take all the packages and put them into a proper Debian repsoitory. -rob
