Some are (like perl scripts or documentation), some are not (like perl itself or binary programs), so even though deb packages are called binary packages (in contrast to source packages) some of them can be used on other archs. Those can be identified via their filename "..._all.deb", the arch-dependant packages have "..._$arch.deb". So your CDs will at best be of partial use for your purposes. Cheers, Flo
