Re: How to use the debian installation iso for installing packages using aptitude

[teddymwas <teddymwas@gmail.com>]

Commands to use when mounting ISO and installing packages from ISOs.

1. copy over all the ISO images over to the server you want to use 
2. Create a directory in /media/ call it mountpoint1 i.e >> mkdir
/media/mountpoint1
3. edit /etc/fstab and add the this line  /path/to/ISO/<debian-7.....iso>
/media/dvd-mountpoint1 iso9660 loop,ro,user,auto 0  0
4. then mount the ISO image using this command : mount
/media/dvd-mountpoint3
5. edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add this line deb
file:/media/dvd-mountpoint1 wheezy main contrib
6. then run this command apt-get-update
7. Once you have run the above commands with no errors then you can start
installing the packages by running 
	apt-get install <package name> 
	the installer will look for all the repository files in the ISO image set
in the sources list.
7 very simple steps to a happy debain life.
