Public bug reported:
Distribution Release: 12.04 Precise
Casper: 1.296
in scripts/casper-bottom/41apt_cdrom, if an apt repository is not configured in
the root of the LiveCD, the script hangs the boot process waiting for input
with the message:
"Please provide a name for this Disc, such as 'Debian 5.0.3 Disk 1"
Some sort of checking is needed here to see if the conditions required for the
apt-cdrom repository are fulfilled, and to fail silently if they are not - I've
attached a possible patch:
* if /README.diskdefines does not exist in the root of the CDROM, exit with no
error
having said that I'm not certain of the role of the README.diskdefines
file, so it may not be the best choice for checking.
