Hm, I don't have apt-cd only apt-cdrom: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ locate apt-cd /usr/bin/apt-cdrom /usr/share/man/man8/apt-cdrom.8.gz man apt-cdrom says: DESCRIPTION apt-cdrom is used to add a new CDROM to APTs list of available sources. apt-cdrom takes care of determining the structure of the disc as well as correcting for several possible mis-burns and verifying the index files. It is necessary to use apt-cdrom to add CDs to the APT system, it cannot be done by hand. Furthermore each disk in a multi-cd set must be inserted and scanned separately to account for possible mis-burns. Unless the -h, or --help option is given one of the com mands below must be present. So I cannot install via apt-cdrom. How do you all update from diferent sources? I don't know 'cause I'm a debain-newbie;) -- Where prejudice exists it always discolors our thoughts.
