That means apt can't reach your proxy running on localhost port 3128.

So instead of apt-get install <package>, I'd use apt-cdrom > install <package>? But I prefer aptitude. Would it therefore be: # > aptitude-cdrom install <package>? No, it means you use "apt-cdrom add" to tell apt about new CDs. Once apt knows about the cd, then use "apt-get install whatever" as normal, ie apt and all it's frontends will Just Work. If the package is needed from a CD, apt will ask you for the correct CD and wait for you to insert it and hit enter before continuing. The use of a CD in transparent to the user, except for having to insert/remove it. -- Rob Weir <rweir@ertius.org> | mlspam@ertius.org | Do I look like I want a CC?
