cdset is mixed up with this as well. It is possible to scan in extra
discs, but this option is not offered for usb sticks.
The following would enable the installation stick to remounted by
modifying /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00CDMountPoint
if this fails
Acquire::cdrom {
mount "/media/cdrom";
}
Dir::Media::MountPath "/media/cdrom";
then try this,
Acquire::cdrom {
mount "/media/usb";
}
Dir::Media::MountPath "/media/usb";
(I can't write much code, but I can butcher it.)
I have successfully used the modification to gain repeated access to the
usb installation stick. I would not be possible to add other sticks in
the same way as
apt-cdrom add
or by cdset during the installation. But the original installation
stick can be fully utilized.
