(Assume the cd is mounted as /mnt/cdrom) $ find /mnt/cdrom -name \*.deb -print will list all the .deb files in the directory /mnt/cdrom and any subdirectories. Also "ls -R" lists recursively. There is also an organization to the directories so that apt knows where to find a given package. -D -- Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.
