        I'd say so. Anyway, you could probably update your
        sources.list with the lines corresponding to the release of
        the CD you have "apt-get update" and do something like:

        # cp `find /cdrom -file f -name deb` /var/cache/apt/archives/

        You might like to copy the files to another place first (say,
        /tmp), just to make sure that everything is ok. You might also
        want to check the deb's md5sums before even doing anything
        like above, to discard the debs that are defective.

        I hope that you have a minimal net connection for updating the
        list of packages after changing your sources.list file.

        Now, if the problem is in a directory area of the CD, hummm...
        The best solution I could think of would be to rsync-update
        your image.

        But I guess that this is getting too off-topic for d-powerpc.
        :-(


        Hope this helps, Roger...
