I thought I'd got apt-get to read my local cdrom but it seems I was wrong. It will update the packages but won't install anything. I have a Cheapbytes cdrom.
The entry in my sources.list is as follows: deb file:/cdrom/debian main/binary-i386/ The Packages file is read correctly. However, when I try to install a file I get an error message: Unable to stat /cdrom/debian/debian/binary-i386/... In other words, an unwanted extra /debian/ gets into the path when apt-get tries to install a file. Can anyone suggest a way round this?
