using cd roms with dselect
While I wait for my new router, I'm using the official binary CD-rom
images, I installed with woody cds 1 and 2, but now have the whole set. I
have not burned them, they are on the local drive and mounted.
In dselect menu I choose Access and then cdrom, dselect lists the 7
mounted isos correctly, and when I choose one of them I am asked for the
directory with the packages.
If I accept the default, debian/dists/stable/, I get "does not contain any
*.deb packages. Hmpf", which is true - browsing through the cd I see the
.deb files are all in pool/
If I enter debian/pool/ I get the message /debian/pool/binary-i386 does
not exist, which I suppose is also correct.
How do I get dselect to see the packages in the cdrom images?
