I don't have a cd burner, so how can I get apt-get install to see the

The quick-and-nasty way: when apt asks for the cd to be inserted in
/cdrom/,
before you press return, switch to another VC and symlink /dev/cdrom to
the
iso mount point.
It can be done "properly" but I can't remember off the top of my head
exactly how, and I'm not on the system that I have set up "properly" so I
can't post its config. Sorry!
Ok. That sounds fine for now. I wonder is the 'right' way to create a
local debian mirror? If so can this be done from the isos?
When you get to that machine I'd be interested in seeing the proper
config if you can post it.
