I'm wondering:
Could you copy the 7 CD's onto a partition - and mount it as a
regular directory, of course - and using some of the
debian utilities - I've not done it, but I think it could be done, then
create a debian repository of that partition? You'd list it as
"deb file://<etc>" in your sources list.
