You didn't specify what you're running on your PC. Windows? If yes,
beware! You can't copy the links via FTP, and a CD with long file names
is not going to do you any good since it will be in Joliet format - i.e.
Linux will only see 8.3 file names and not the long names it expects.
Could you ask a sysadmin to prepare a disk image with mkisofs
on a Unix system for you? You could ftp that image and burn
your CD from that.
If you have a Debian Linux system, install the mirror package and
make the image yourself.
