installing packages from iso file
Hello!
I installed Debian Etch on a PC box with netinstall CD.
Now I want to remove CD driver from this box.
But I want before that to copy the netisntall.iso file
to HDD on that box.
So, when I have removed the CD drive, I want that,
that apt can use this iso file to install some packages.
How can I do that?
I try Google, but cant find a solution.
I think I must first to mount these netinstall.iso with
loop device:
mount -o loop -t iso9660 netinstall.iso /mnt/iso
but this is not the right way because I want to automate
this, so I think I must edit fstab for this issue:
/dev/lo /media/cdrom0 iso9660 loop 0 0
Then I must run 'apt-cdrom add', so I run it:
LANG=en_EN sudo apt-cdrom add
Success!
Well, I think I find a solution, but what do you think,
am I right?
