Yes, more or less.

An easier solution is just to install the base system (you should be able to
write the floppies under Windows), boot into it, then mount your CD and do
dpkg --recursive --record-avail /cdrom
(repeat for the second CD if you have one).
This updates dpkg/dselect's notion of where the files are, and should make
it possible to install packages using dselect from then on.
HTH,
