I thought he installed his OS from the debian-live-10.2.0-amd64-gnome.iso sitting on a usb stick. I'm uncertain why, for example apt-cdrom -d /usbmountpoint/ add would not be operational here (if the appropriate /etc/fstab entry exists). That is, if live cd repositories work the same way as regular old cd repositories. -- "J'ai pour me guérir du jugement des autres toute la distance qui me sépare de moi." Antonin Artaud
