They will use the entries in the /etc/fstab for the configuration. > recoverym4n@gmail.com wrote: > > deb file:/media/apt1 debian main contrib non-free The file:/ syntax is the one to use. But the line there is not correct. For one there is no release "debian". It will be "wheezy". And if it is an official Debian image then there won't be non-free there since the DFSG (Debian Free Software Guidelines) do not allow nonfree.
