QUESTION:  
   I burned the first fifteen (15) CD's and GNU/Emacs, which I want to install, 
is not on them.  How do I find out which CDs I need to burn? (There are 37 more 
in cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.0/i386/iso-cd/ and I used to burn all the 
CDs for a release but am too lazy to burn all 52 discs this time, I only burnt 
the first 15.)

* * * 

I looked through this but didn't find an answer:  releases/stable/installmanual

This looks like a good spot to find what information I'm looking for (perhaps 
add a "4.2.2. How to Determine Which Images Have Which Packages):
   4.2.1. Where to Find Installation Images

Currently (February 2011) section 4.2.1 has one sentence:
   """The installation images are located on each Debian mirror in the 
directory debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-i386/current/images/ — the 
MANIFEST lists each image and its purpose."""

* * *

HELP:   PLEASE PROVIDE SOMETHING LIKE A LOOKUP TABLE THAT CROSS-REFERENCES 
PACKAGE NAMES WITH CD NUMBERS.

NOTE:   I read this one but it fit::: """#291453 [n|  |  ] [installation-guide] 
Information on how to obtain images needs reorganization""".

NOTE: http://www.debianhelp.org/node/1596
has the same question: "How do I know which CD has the package I need?"

THANKS!   rcymbala
