You could do this with the sym-links quite easily, but I somehow doubt
that's what you meant. If you can think of a way to do this automatically,
please feel free to suggest it/send a patch! :-) Or another alternative is
to do what I used to do for hamm - make yourself a sym-link farm somewhere
else that references the CDs and replace some of the farm with real data
as necessary to do it in one step.
Another thought - the official slink disc set will only have 2 binary CDs:
main section 1
main section 2, contrib, non-US
It should be easy to mount both in separate drives and install as-is...
