AFAIK, not directly.
An indirect workaround is to put the files in one directory (NFS mount,
maybe? Symlinks to the CD?) and just

Hi,
our debian linux box is behind a firewall operating socks4 protocol.
The dpkg-ftp package does not seem to use our rftp client, so we cannot
use dselect (ftp method).
Does anyone have a solution?
