Please note that it should be also entirely possible to use APT on the
CD #1 only. Just point to the already mounted CD by using a line like this:

deb file:/whatever

in /etc/apt/sources.list. Of course, this will not work for disks other
than #1, and you will be completely unable to install packages from disks
#2 or #3, but it is still a possibility if you have just CD #1.

Thanks.
