If you're going to do it like that, you need to mount all 13 CD
images with the loop option to mount. What you're serving right now
is 13 really big ISO files. However, once they're mounted you could
edit /etc/apt/sources.list to point to each of the (mounted) CD
filesystems.
That's what the SNA 3.0 installer did. 3.1, if I ever finish it,
just uses a local pool, because it's much less hassle. That's what I
recommend: debmirror to mirror the pool, and just serve that with,
say, Apache, and install from there. m23 claims to have a script
Or just set up Apache as a poxy server, with a view of the Real World
and install off that.
Properly configured, it will download and cache what you want. Its log
will show you what files you needed (and their order), and if you want
you can then create your own CD with just what you want.
