I imagine this depends on the user's circumstances, but since I am
almost always online, I prefer to download the packages (which is
immediate, as most of them are relatively small) rather than find the
installation media (which is slow, as it's probably buried, forgotten or
overwritten).
Anyway
Since it is disabled by default, the network will be used. If you chose
to enable it again, then you expect it to be used, so it needs to come
first. I've not seen any need to regenerate caches after install to
avoid asking for the cd, so I think this old bug can be closed.
** Changed in:
I don't understand the purpose of this. If you have the packages on a
local disc, certainly you would prefer to *use* that disk instead of
ignoring it and always downloading them? Putting the entry at the end
would render the local cd useless.

Status:
For Hardy, we simply comment out the cdrom entry at the end of
installation. (In fact, we started doing so before I filed this bug, so
I'm not quite sure why I filed it!) Thus, this isn't critical for Hardy.
I suspect that the order of even commented-out entries influences the
behaviour of
We call apt-get update in various places already, which I think should
be sufficient.

only a vague comment from Jason which I translated into some
assumptions.

Somewhere in the dusty corners of my mind, I recall that simply swapping the
order wasn't quite sufficient; I believe you need to regenerate the cache or
similar. That may have been fixed since, though. Subscribing Michael to
confirm.
