Hopefully the Debian versions will handle this.  I made my own CDs and
hey, when using a second one, it totally screwed up the list of what
Debian thought was installed!  I had to switch to doing everything via
ftp after the initial install to avoid having my whole installation
hosed!  ;-/ (Or at least, appearing to be hosed.  dselect
installed/removed packages I didn't ask it to, because the list of
packages got seriously screwed, or so it appeared from the messages
on-screen.)

Thanks for the pointer to dpkg-multicd,
