Debian with speakup

Ok, I didn't realize that.  My CD's are the first release of 2.2 but
my floppies are the version from the Speakup web sight.
I just start the
install with floppies, and switch to CD.  The install always tries to 
set up an internet connection in addition to using the CD's.  When
it's done, I end up with the latest version installed.
It might not be a problem because most of the packages seem to be read 
from the first Cd or the Internet.  The install catalogs the other Cd's,
but I thought the package system simply used the latest information on
packages it could find from any of it's known sources.  I don't have the 
combination of Cd's you mention, so I could be wrong.
