Apt-cdrom does not work. What I reccommend is that the contents of the
cdrom's be copied into four separate partitions and the
/etc/apt/sources.list be edited to point to these partitions, e.g.
deb file:/discs/A/debian sid main contrib local
deb file:/discs/B/debian sid main contrib local
etc.
Once these are mounted, then "apt-get update", "apt-get install foo".
