I'm late on talk but I was thinking a bit about it

1) insert CD
2) nautilus pop up window
3) double clicks on "install" launcher... which have command like:
	synaptic --install=foo.deb --resource=cd
4) synaptic start and try to install foo.deb which dependents on
libfoo.deb (found on CD) and bar.deb (not found on CD) bar.deb can be
another software like media player, or system library
5) you're not online: synaptic avoid setup and asks you to install bar
first (maybe found on another CD)
you are online: synaptic download bar and install them all

some points, the CD have to be structured as respondent, needs some
hacks on synaptic, XML configuration to do stuff like "license
agreement" and "insert serial number"

I can help hacking on synaptic!
