It depends. apt tries each source in /etc/apt/sources.list, in order, and stops when it finds the first source that has the particular package at the particular version you want. You can use 'apt-cache policy packagename' to which versions of packagename apt knows about, and where it thinks it can find them. If apt sees the packages on the CD, then it's probably just that the CD lines are *after* the Internet mirrors in your sources.list. Swap 'em round and it should hit the CDs first. -- Rob Weir <rweir@ertius.org> | mlspam@ertius.org | http://www.ertius.org/ GPG keys: 1024D/1E73B7CD, 4096R/3ABDE5EC | Do I look like I want a CC?
