A better way to achieve exactly the same thing is with the one line:

deb file:/mnt/setup woody main contrib

You might want to put non-free on the end of the line too -- but you'd
probably have to use an HTTP or FTP mirror site because the CDs don't
include non-free.  e.g.

deb http://ftp.it.net.au/debian woody non-free

(Ooops, I got the name wrong, should be update-modules.)
