hiya. you need to mount these cd images. if you really want to do it this way, for each cd, you need to do something like this: losetup /dev/loop0 /foo/bar/disc0 losetup /dev/loop1 /foo/bar/disc1 ... and then you can mount the .iso's as filesystems just like you inserted the cd's in the tray: mount /dev/loop0 /path/to/debs0 ... and eventually, when you're done (if you don't want this around for a while), you need to: losetup -d /dev/loop0 ... really though, i think the cleaner way of doing this is assembling a proper debian mirror from these cd's, or even better, if you have a good net connection, using the 'debmirror' package. sean On Sat, Apr 26, 2003 at 08:32:59AM -0500, David Krider wrote: > I am trying to copy the Woody CD's to my NFS server, one per > subdirectory, but using a "deb file:/foo/bar/disc1" sort of line in my > /etc/apt/sources.list file isn't allowing me to use them.
