source tree



Hi. I am a blind Linux user attempting to install the source tree using apt-cdrom. I got the packages installed fine. However, when I go to install the source distribution, the package terminates with the following error: Handler silently failed. I don't think this is an incompatibility issue with my Cd-rom, because this is what I installed my initial base system and other packages from. I am using the following syntax: apt-cdrom add -a. I am running potato 2.2r5 with the 2.2 kernel running under an Intel x86 architecture. Note: Before terminating with the error, the package found the source indexes and Cd label. This indicates that the Cd was being read. Could I have overlooked something which I should have done before installing the source distribution? Any suggestions would be greatly apreciated. Thanks in advance!
