Re: apt sources.list problem
I was confused by this as well at first.
However, if you mount the cdrom and do 'ls -l dists', you get
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 314 Dec 19 01:33 TRANS.TBL
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 5 Dec 19 00:13 frozen -> woody
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 2048 Dec 19 00:14 potato
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 5 Dec 19 00:13 stable -> woody
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 5 Dec 19 00:13 testing -> woody
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 5 Dec 19 00:13 unstable -> woody
dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 2048 Dec 19 00:20 woody
So stable, testing and unstable are all symlinks to woody, so in effect they
are all stable.
Still, it would be nice if someone would fix apt-cdrom to do the more logical
thing. You could file a bug on apt-cdrom with severity 'minor' (check first
if someone else has not allready filed one).
P.S. Don't change the lines in sources.list as the CDROM will not be
recognized after you do that :-(
Good luck.
