Well, dselect allows you to edit your sources.list file, so I guess you could
do that, and add the ftp sites.  My guess is that the first source listed is
the place that it will try to fetch the file from, so if you put your CD first,
then the net, you well get what you want.

And don't forget the security updates source.
