Similar question:
I have a CD containing packages from security.debian.org of the
directory structure (eg)
$ ls -l
/cdrom/security.debian.org/debian-non-US/dists/woody/non-US/main/binary-i386/
total 221
- -r--r--r-- 1 root root 180106 Jul 18 2002 Packages
- -r--r--r-- 1 root root 44895 Jul 18 2002 Packages.gz
- -r--r--r-- 1 root root 100 Jul 19 2002 Release
How would I tell apt of the contents of this CD for updating of my
installed packages? Should I make a new CD from this one, with a
different directory structure so apt-cdrom add will identify the packages?
Thanks, Tim
