Greetings all. This is what I am trying to do.
I have the three dvd iso of debian. I installed debian without internet connection using the first iso image. Now I want to use these iso files to download and installing any packages that can be done through aptitude without using interent. I have internet but I want it to be second preference. This is what I managed to do until now: 1) I created a folder name dvd1-mountpoint in my /home folder 2) Next I mounted the iso using the command mount path/to/iso dvd1-mountpoint/ -o loop 3) Next I created a symbolic link to the mounted folder in the /media folder ln -s dvd1-mountpoint/ /media/apt1 4) Then i ran the following command apt-cdrom -d=/media/apt1/ add I got the following output root@Innovator:/home/neo1691# apt-cdrom -d=/media/apt1 add Using CD-ROM mount point /media/cdrom/ Identifying..

Found 0 package indexes, 0 source indexes, 0 translation indexes and 0 signatures W: Failed to mount '/dev/sr0' to '/media/cdrom/' E: Unable to locate any package files, perhaps this is not a Debian Disc or the wrong architecture? Any help? I want to say some bandwidth as it is not cheap here, and is very slow Thanks! -- Regards, Anubhav Yadav -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
