Dear all:
(The entire email refers specifically to KDE on Debian_7.7.0_amd64)
I am new to Debian.
I need to be able to install packages offline through the CD/DVD sets.
According to page 103 of "debian-handbook.pdf", I need to execute *apt-cdrom add* before *apt-get install [name]* if I want to install
packages through CD/DVD.
However, on the "live install" image of debian:
*apt-cdrom add* does not work.
*apt-cdrom ident* does not work as well.
I tried to access /etc/fdtab through *mount /etc/fstab*, again It says fstab not found.
I tried to edit /etc/fdtab through *gedit /etc/fstab* to assign the cdrom mount, It says gedit command not found.
So my questions are:
1. Does *apt-cdrom add*, *apt-cdrom ident*, *mount /etc/fstab*, *gedit /etc/fstab* work on the "live install" image.
2. After a *real* install through complete CD/DVD set, will *apt-cdrom add* and *apt-get install [name]* work straight out of the box?
(
see
"this program only works if your CD-ROM is properly configured in your system's /etc/fstab."
in
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-basico.en.html#s-cdrom
)
3. After a *real* install through complete CD/DVD set, will *mount /etc/fstab* or */etc/fstab* brings out the "file system table"?
4. On a real install of Debian,
If I see CD-drive mounted on KDE (an icon representing CD/DVD drive appears),
will *apt-cdrom add* and *apt-get install [name]* then work? (i.e. does it mean that "CD-ROM is properly configured in my system's
/etc/fstab." ?)
5. Kindly provide me the procedure of "configuring CD-ROM in system's /etc/fstab"
Kindly reply ASAP!
Regards
Quek
