apt-cdrom does NOT work this way. It keeps insisting that I mount a physical CDROM, even when the image is mounted, even when I passed -m and -d /mnt/ubu910 to apt-cdrom add. It's just broken for use with ISO images.
And if you leave an apt-cdrom entry in /etc/apt/sources.list, it screws up all possibility of using apt-get. It insists on getting everything from the CDROM, and when you don't have a CDROM, it doesn't just go on and use the network -- it keeps looping, insisting that you mount a CDROM. Maybe bandwidth is free for Canonical, but if it isn't, I really recommend fixing this stuff, so that people can just install 95% of the packages from the DVD image that they already have, without having to suck the identical package over the Internet. -- Ubiquity should put install image onto target disk for apt's use https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/455167 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
