Thanks guys.. mike.. have you ran apt-setup? -- Angelina Carlton Actually, no... did find a couple other 'apt' CLI things to try like apt-cdrom but haven't been able to use it yet... But will definately look at this on too.. Thanks a bunch for your reply... -- Cheers: Mike .. Now, a little humor compliments of Linux Fortune...

I found it... loaded the cdrom but didn't solve the problem.. apt-get install whatever or Synaptic, they all still didn't find my DVD.. tried these additional switches I found in man pages.. apt-cdrom -f -d=/media/dvdrw -o Acquire::cdrom::mount=/dev/dvdrw add (-f = fast. the media is good so don't check it out for errors) (-o = add this option to the config file) Havent' had time to check it out yet but hopeful it worked...
