Re: A few more Q. Re: How to install cups?

I have never installed woody from the CDs(sofar only installed
potato then upgraded to woody). Perhaps you don't have the CD
which contains the rest of the packages, or not all of the
CDs are cataloged(check /etc/apt/sources.list to be sure all of
the CDs you have are listed).

When I check my sources.list not all cds where cataloged.
I ran "apt-cdrom -d=/cdrom add" on the seven cds I have.
I then ran "apt-get install cupsys" and it ask me to put the
first cd in and press enter. Next message said it was working.
A few seconds later it ask me to do this again, again and again.
I then check my /etc/apt/sources.list again an notice that
apt-cdrom added one line for each cd I entered, but cd one
had two line, one that start with "deb cdrom" and the other
line,for the same cd, "deb-src". Should I add the src line for
each cd I add with apt-cdrom?



When I enter "apt-cache search cups" I get -
libcupsys2
libgimpprint1
gimpprint-locales

Does this mean that I don't have the complete package?
