It is necessary to use apt-cdrom to add CDs to the APT system; it cannot be
done by hand. Furthermore each disc in a multi-CD set must be inserted and
scanned separately to account for possible mis-burns.
/etc/fstab
/home/richard/dvdmount /mnt/dvdmount iso9660 user,loop 0 0
with mount-point mounted
apt-cdrom -m -d=/mnt/dvdmount add
if apt persists in asking for insertion of the disk
apt.conf
Acquire::cdrom::mount "/mnt/dvdmount";
APT::CDROM::NoMount;
Worked for an anonymous user on the internets, which is pretty damn persuasive.
