Where is apt-cdrom?
Hello,
I keep on trying to know more about apt.
In a message sent to the list a few days ago, someone talked about
installing ".deb" packages from a CDROM via a command called apt-cdrom.
I have searched for this tool in my system but it isn't installed.

Maybe I haven't read the mail properly. Does this tool really exist?
Does apt-get perform this function?
If apt-get does, what do I have to add to my apt/sources.list?
Thanks in advance.
