If the path to the Packages.gz file on your mounted cdrom is
/cdrom/debian/Packages.gz, then you could probably just add this
(temporarily) to your sources.list file:
file:/cdrom/debian/ main contrib non-free
you may not have all of the sections abive (contrib and non-free are
probably missing), just find the directory where "main/" is located; if
contrib and/or non-free are there, then leave the line like it is above.
Constructing a sources.list file can be difficult, because the way that
apt-get resolves the actual path to the ".deb" files is kind of hard to
follow. As a matter of fact, I may have the above line all wrong, so
please, someone make sure I've got it right... Another line that _might_
work is:
file:/cdrom/debian stable main contrib non-free
... omit contrib or non-free if they don't exist on the cd... apt-get
update will produce errors to that effect if they're not there.
Good luck. Hope you can figure this out despite my help! ;-)
