apt-cdrom on iso mount
I'm having some trouble getting apt to use a mounted .iso image on my
hdd.
I've set it up in my /etc/fstab as:
/root/debian-31r2-i386-binary-1.iso /mnt/deb_iso1 iso9660 loop,ro 0 0
and then ran the following
# apt-cdrom -d /mnt/deb_iso1 -m add
Using CD-ROM mount point /mnt/deb_iso1/

Repeat this process for the rest of the CDs in your set.
no problem so far..
I now have this in my /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r2 _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20060419)]/ unstable contrib main
and this in my /var/lib/apt/cdroms.list
CD::bc7d47aca21b2972f0aaf5a21ff1fbd4-2 "Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r2 _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20060419)";

aptitude update runs fine..
finally, I go to install a package:
# apt-get install apt-howto

Media Change: Please insert the disc labeled
'Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r2 _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20060419)'
in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter
And there's the problem -- why does it want to use /cdrom/ when I told
it the cdrom mount point was /mnt/deb_iso1?
Can I edit the sources.list file to override the cdrom mount point for
each .iso I want to use?
Thanks,
Nick
