If you have the CDs and a web server, you can change your sources.list
to point to the server; then you'd get a web-install environment. 
(I don't have the CDs, but I did the same thing with apt-move; it worked
well. Since apt-move "generates" directories that mirror the CDs, I think 
there shouldn't be any problem with CDs.)

OT a bit; do you have any problem with ftp? (PAM to be exact.) I did mix
and match on slink and potato, the ftpd wouldn't work. Then I reinstalled
potato (from floppies), then apt-get upgrade, apt-get update, apt-get
install wu-ftpd, voila, the ftp server worked well.
