With a big enough hammer, you can force anything.
Yes, you can force the creation of CD's, but then you get
a CD that has software that is NOT installable, in this case
w3-el. It would seem that the "correct" thing to do would
be fix our broken ftp.d.o archive.
Potato has been in relatively good shape as far as dependancys.
I think the issue here is there has been discovered an error
in our slink archive, and I do not understand the resistance
to fix the error.
