No, Tamar Nirenberg did not add a cdrom://... line in his sources.list.
Note the date that goes with it - 2019-11-16T10:36. It would have been
added and commented out by the installer. He has uncommented it. This
has not led to the outcome he desired but, as I said, it makes the
screen output more complicated than it need be. My procedure, when
testing a sources.list, is to have only a single operative line.
