I added the lines:
Deb cdrom: [Debian GNU/Linux 4.0r0 _Etch_ -Official i386 DVD Binary-1
20070407-11:40]/ etch contrib main
Deb cdrom: [Debian GNU/Linux 4.0r0 _Etch_ -Official i386 DVD Binary-2
20070407-11:40]/ etch contrib main
Deb cdrom: [Debian GNU/Linux 4.0r0 _Etch_ -Official i386 DVD Binary-3
20070407-11:40]/ etch contrib main
(I'm using pen and paper to copy, so there may be a tiny syntax error in
there)
Then I went:
Su
Apt-get install synaptic
And it came up with errors that the repositories do not exist. The DVD
Binary-1 was mounted.
Did you run 'apt-get update' before trying to install? If not, it
couldn't have possibly worked. Apt needs to know which packages are
available from every entry in sources.list.
