You insert the CD after booting and only after that yon can mount the device. I think there is an automounter tool but I've never used it. > I don't suppose there is any way to tell it that I have two > cdroms so I can put two cd's in at once? To your /etc/apt/sources.list, add two entries like this: deb file:/cdrom/ stable (... or testing etc.) Replace /cdrom with the mount points for your 2 CDROMs. HTH, Joachim -- Joachim Fahnenmüller Lehrer für Mathematik und Physik Herder-Gymnasium Kattowitzer Straße 52 51065 Köln -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
