What is the proper syntax to use dvd1.iso {preferred} or DVD in drive
{last resort} as my repository?
mmdebstrap (and multistrap which you originally mentioned) are unrelated
to dealing with ISO files.
You misunderstood.
debootstrap, multistrap, mmdebstrap and any future cousins require a
repository of deb files.
apt and cousins can install from an unsigned repository by EXPLICITLY
identifying it as "trusted". {see man page for sources.list}
By inference I only need the proper syntax to do same with mmdebstrap.
Further re-reading of man pages suggests that my command should begin:
mmdebstrap --variant=required --aptopt="APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated
true" ...
I used whatever tool Caja invokes to extract the contents of dvd1.iso.
After receiving a warning I unzipped packages.gz
mmdebstrap is still not happy. I get:
richard@testingmisc:~$ mmdebstrap --variant=required --aptopt="APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated true" stretch test1.tar file:///home/richard/Downloads/dvd1

I don't know what the next to last line is telling me.
I've tried running mmdebstrap as root and received same error.
Help please.
