Bug report regarding apt-get
Two machines on a local lan at home WITHOUT an Internet connection! :(
My linux box doesn't have any input devices besides the nic eth0,
since installation where i ripped out the cdrom from my windows box.
Hence, for future installation adjustments I need to mount my cdrom
remotely.
apt-cdrom add works well(indexing etc.) with the remote cdrom. But once I have
selected the packages using dselect, and attempt to install them it
doesn't seem to find the remote cdrom, and uses some other method which
doesn't work to find a cdrom source.
If i try mounting it before hand, it umounts it (annoyingly).
Any quick fix would make me very happy, i have about 17 gig free on my
linux hd. I don't mind installing woody over potato if that's possible
if there is a fix contained within that release.
Regards
-Kai Hendry
