I just upgraded to Debian 2.2 and... 1. I'm trying to create backup CD's that I can scan into my sources.list file just like the distribution set does. Does anyone know or have a source of information for this?
2. What exactly does the path structure have to be in order to make "any" cd apt-getable. I thought I had read on this list somewhere that you needed a "dists" directory as the base but I haven't been able to find anything else. I've tried man apt-get, man apt-cdrom, and man apt.conf to no avail. I also tried looking at the new maintainers guide on the Debian website but couldn't find what I was looking for. Any suggestions? 3. I was using the old deb file:/cdrom pathToDebs/ in my sources.list file but got this error when I ran apt-get update: Err file: slink/backup/ Packages File not found Ign file: slink/backup/ Release How would I get copies of those two files specific to the debs I have on the cdrom? Is there some way to generate them? Perhaps download? How would I know that I have the correct one (they seem to contain info about the packages and their dependencies)? btw, the cdrom was mounted, and /cdrom points to the correct device. TIA, Jesse
