You should have 2 CD's with Slink. And when you install dpkg-multicd from
first cd (by hand) you should insert SECOND CD and rund dselect, then
choose multi-cd access method and all other steps as usually. And when
dselect will install packages it will ask you for first CD and then (after
installing all packages form first CD) for second CD.
