Yup ;-)
Here's what my file left me with after using the 1st Sarge CDROM (3.1rc1 at
that time). But; I have it (actually) commented out (a '#' prefixed to that
line), since I told the installer to no longer look there anymore.
~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main
[...]
the above would be for Sarge - you may want to add 'contrib' and 'nonfree' to
the end (not sure).
Ex;
deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main contrib non-free
Review 'man apt-cdrom'
