In the process of setting up my spanking-new high-end AMD64 machine
with Sarge (FINALLY I get to win the ``my CPU is bigger than your
CPU'' contest!).
Copied all 15 CD ISOs to /data/ISO. Then:
mkdir /debian
for i in 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15
do
mkdir /debian/$i
done
Append lines to /etc/fstab to mount all the ISOs onto the appropriate
directory under /debian. Now run apt-setup and point it to each of
the directories (01, 02, etc) one by one and apt will happily use your
filesystem made from disk images.

P.S. Things are going to be a bit slow on the linux-india.org site for
a while until the new machine is setup with all tweaks and
customisations.
