Re: Status pages?
Could someone pick up apt with particular reference to apt-cdrom? The
problem as I see is that apt is not capable of mounting and unmounting a
CD using settrans. At present it requires the cdrom drive to be in fstab
like linux, that is if the man page is to be believed. I had thought that
this could be fixed in the apt.conf, but I think I was overly optimistic.
