K16 iso's Apt and aptitude

[Philip Charles <philipc@copyleft.co.nz>]

A nasty problem; apt and aptitude cannot access a DVD. They can access a 
CD.

The DVD can be mounted, read and copied.  Scrips can be run from the disc.

If the DVD to a HDD partition (it took hours to copy) then apt and 
aptitude have no problem.

IIRC, this was not a problem with K10.

Given that <apt-cdrom add> does not work and the size of Debian GNU/Hurd, 
then access to a DVD becomes important.

Any ideas?

Phil.
