what CDs? the one I work on (TeX Live) is a download of CTAN in a
sense, in that it has nothing that is not on CTAN. But there is a
world of difference between 

 foo.zip

and

 texmf/tex/latex/foo/foo_bar_bear.sty
 texmf/doc/latex/foo/foo_bar_bear.dvi
 texmf/source/latex/foo/foo_bar_bear.dtx
 texmf/source/latex/foo/foo_bar_bear.ins
 texmf/fonts/source/public/foo/foo10.mf
 texmf/fonts/source/public/foo/foo10.mf
 texmf/fonts/tfm/public/foo/foo10.tfm

as you will hopefully agree
