That will not help me since DVDs does not have non-free part
My /etc/apt/sources.list has:
deb cdrom:[Etch DVD 3]/ etch contrib main
deb cdrom:[Etch DVD 2]/ etch contrib main
deb cdrom:[Etch DVD 1]/ etch contrib main
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r0 _Etch_ - Official i386 DVD Binary-1 20070407-11:40]/ etch contrib main
# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
#deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib
# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
#deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib
And because I only have 33k modem internet connection I do
not plan to add any online repository to that list.
I would be willing to download single packages that I am
interested in only if I could find URL to pass it to wget.

I have some difficulties to understand that GNU is non-free.
As far as I remember whole GNU movement started because one guy
had some issues with non-free concept. Has he recently changed
his mind and joined the other camp? :)
More seriously: I really would like to know what 'exactly' is
non-free with some GNU documentations, or in other words
what you can not do with it that you can do with documentation
included in debian?
