Ok, and what should I do if I wanna install from an ftp-server? Put the
entry again there? It's very uncofortable, isn't it?

It doesn't exist;)

But it seems very complicated:(

I "downloaded" it but I don't relize what it does:( You should add doku.

Hm, I don't have apt-cd only apt-cdrom:
ich@bretschneidernet:~$ locate apt-cd
/usr/bin/apt-cdrom
/usr/share/man/man8/apt-cdrom.8.gz
man apt-cdrom says:
DESCRIPTION
apt-cdrom is used to add a new CDROM to APTs list of
available sources. apt-cdrom takes care of determining the
structure of the disc as well as correcting for several
possible mis-burns and verifying the index files.
It is necessary to use apt-cdrom to add CDs to the APT
system, it cannot be done by hand. Furthermore each disk
in a multi-cd set must be inserted and scanned separately
to account for possible mis-burns.
Unless the -h, or --help option is given one of the com
mands below must be present.
So I cannot install via apt-cdrom.
How do you all update from diferent sources? I don't know 'cause I'm a
debain-newbie;)
