Do you have fast network access? If so, you can bypass the cdroms and 
pull directly from the network by reconfiguring "/etc/apt/sources.list".

It seems a shame to do so since you already have the CDs, but I never 
use CDs, so I don't know what might be wrong, thus I've made this 
suggestion to use the net.
