I'm working on a similar problem. In my case I want to put the data on a hard
disk on a Woody machine and access it via nfs. But I think the answer to one
of your questions is the same:
1. refer to Oohara Yuuma email of 5Aug'02 on this list
2. make an entry in your sources.list for each CD copy, place these entries
before the ones that refer to stuff on the web
3. don't worry about merging the info. apt-get update does that internally.
I'm in the process of setting this up, so I may discover some error in what
I have said, but not about looking at Oohara's email. That is good info.
