I had tried that, but there was, alas, no option for multi-CD.
I have no idea how many packages might be broken.
During the install, only the first 3 CDs were used [except for the initial
"indexing" of the CDs].

Is there a way to restart tasksel so that it will prompt for all the tasks again
[not just the ones that weren't selected the previous time]?
