Merging all 30+ Debian CD's onto hard drive

["Michael Paulsen" <mtp5150@gmail.com>]

Hi ya,

Debian Etch now has over 30 CD's. I'm bored with CD swapping every
time I want to install a new package. Is it possible to merge the CD's
to my hard drive and direct APT or DPKG to use the hard drive instead
of all the CD's when installing new packages?  What would the be the
easiest way to do this?

Thank You,
