I'm already working on a slightly different tack. I've 
copied all the deb files to a 64GB USB stick. See my thread 
"Implementing a personalized repository" 
http://lists.debian.org/50DDCDD3.3010100@cloud85.net . I 
haven't gotten it working yet - operator errors ;/ Making 
the install DVD's available was a fallback.

I'm now functional. Thanks all.
