Using apt-get

I finally set up a box running Debian Linux 3.0r1. However, while selecting
the packages to be installed, I discovered that at least one of my CD's
contains errors that make some packages unreadable. I am unsure how these
errors occurred, and so I cannot easily correct the problem.
I've noticed that whenever a new version of a package is available on
Debian's security site, apt-get installs that instead of the version on the
CD. Is there some way to tell apt-get to fall back to an FTP server if a
package on the CD is unreadable?
