You had to mount the CD in order to eject it? > eject it (using the eject command -- remember many Macs don't have a CD > eject button on their CD drives), and then insert a new CD and mount it. All mounting and unmounting is handled by base-config, not apt, in this case. If you want the CD to be automatically ejected, that would need to be done in base-config as well. -- - mdz
