questions about sources.list and apt-cdrom

["Roland Wegmann" <rowe_gnu@hotmail.com>]

Hello,

may I ask some questions about sources.list and apt-cdrom? I certainly hope 
so! When I want to modify my sources.list I've to add something like this

deb ftp://ftp/.../ potato main crypto ...

Now, the frist question is: Does apt automatically know, which plattform 
(intel, powerpc, or whatever) I use? Or is it necessary to define the 
plattform somewhere in the sources.list?

I know that apt need a accurately defined structure in in the sources.list. 
So the second question is: Does apt-cdrom also use this structure on cdrom's 
to recognize debian packages on it? Or can I simply download some packages 
(for example kde), burn this files on a cd and then start apt-cdrom?

Thanks in advance for your help!
