EMFBI, but wouldn't it be easier to use apt-cdrom to add the dvd as a 
source for later installs rather than an apt-mirror solution & a
loopback mount? Seems to be more work than needed. OTOH when I had a
cd-less system and Mandrake, I had all available ISOs loopback mounted
for exactly that purpose - although each ISO was still listed as a cdrom
source, rather than a mirror source per se.
