are the files it's trying to download present on the mirror you're
downloading from?
dists/$di_codename/main/installer-$ARCH/$di_release/images/cdrom
(i.e. dists/etch/main/installer-i386/current/images/cdrom)
if it's present on the mirror you're downloading from, i would delete it
from the local mirror and try again. the "wget" method for downloading
doesn't always work so great. alternately, try the "rsync" method, if
your mirror supports rsync.

no. $debian_cd_dir gets copied to $simple-cdd_temp/debian-cd , and
BASEDIR should not be changed. just change debian_cd_dir. really. :)
much like the README, the comments in simple-cdd.conf need to be
updated.
live well,
