Re: How to use the debian installation iso for installing packages using aptitude
This is what I did.
deleted the symbolic link on /media/apt1
unmounted dvd1
deleted the folder /home/neo1691/dvd1-mountpoint
created a new folder /media/dvd1-mountpoint and mounted the iso using
the command
mount path/to/iso /media/dvd-mountpoint1 -o loop
then in etc/fstab added the line
/home/neo1691/iso-files/debian-7.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso /media/apt1
iso9660 loop,ro,user,noauto 0 0
ran apt-get update
output

Different roads lead to the same roads I guess! Well you must have
guessed by now why I want to use CDROM for installation of packages.
