Could someone pick up apt with particular reference to apt-cdrom? The problem as I see is that apt is not capable of mounting and unmounting a CD using settrans. At present it requires the cdrom drive to be in fstab like linux, that is if the man page is to be believed. I had thought that this could be fixed in the apt.conf, but I think I was overly optimistic.
