Insert the pendrive, and see where it's mounted (from the logs, console etc.) mount -t auto /dev/sdZ1 /mnt where Z is b, c, d as appropriate apt-cdrom -d=/mnt add aptitude ... You'll probably want to remove the pendrive from apt's sources.list pretty soon afterwards so that it doesn't keep being asked for.
