I have finally been able to process 1 of the apt man documents successfully. I must admit though that I went 1 step further than just correcting the docbook SGML documents. I used apt-cdrom.8.sgml in my attempt to get the docu processed. I converted the docu from docbook3 to docbook xml 4. The document I have now can be check and processed easily with respectively xmllint and xmlto. Attached are the updated documents and the resulting man page. I hope that you can accept the new document format and have them included in the release. I can't check if debian has an xmlto package or support for docbook4 as the server are offline. In case the "patch" will be accepted I will convert the other man documents as well. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

<para>
<command>apt-cdrom</command> is used to add a new CDROM to APTs list of available
sources. <command>apt-cdrom</command> takes care of determining the structure of
the disc as well as correcting for several possible mis-burns and
verifying the index files.
</para>
<para>
It is necessary to use <command>apt-cdrom</command> to add CDs to the APT system,
it cannot be done by hand. Furthermore each disk in a multi-cd set must be
inserted and scanned separately to account for possible mis-burns.

<literal>add</literal> is used to add a new disc to the source list. It will unmount the
CDROM device, prompt for a disk to be inserted and then procceed to
scan it and copy the index files. If the disc does not have a proper
<filename>disk</filename> directory you will be prompted for a descriptive
title.

APT uses a CDROM ID to track which disc is currently in the drive and
