Good work. I like it.

www.debian.org is quite slow today, so I pulled apt_0.3.3.deb from the
local potato mirror and installed it using dpkg. File sizes match, so
I think it is the same deb. Right?

I have my cdrom not on /cdrom, but on /mnt/cdrom. /etc/fstab shows
this. However, apt-cdrom tries to mount /cdrom and fails.
apt-cdrom does have a switch --cdrom which I used to point it towards
/mnt/cdrom. This worked.
However, after pulling in the disks, I found that apt-get tries to
load the packages from /cdrom instead of /mnt/cdrom. --cdrom is not
supported by apt-get and I believe that apt-cdrom should have recorded
the nonstandard mount point in sources.list.
Do I miss something here?
