CD 1 should be main, CD 2 both main and contrib, as not all the main
packages fit on the first CD.
I do this regularly with one CD mounted on /cdrom and the other mounted
on /mnt. apt-get dist-upgrade will still want to get non-free and non-us
packages from somewhere (the net in my case), but the only time I find
I _HAVE_ to use dselect is for something like replacing smail with exim--
I've never found a way to convince dpkg to do that for me.
Luck,
