I think it doesn't help to know which package is on which CD, because
there might be dependencies to packages on other CD's, right ?
i.e. if you already have CD 1 and CD 2 and you want packagexyz which
is on CD 7, but it needs some stuff from CD 4, so downloading only CD
7 doesn't work...
Best regards,
