The relevant fstab line looks like this: # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /home/wena/aptoncd.iso /home/wena/soka iso9660 user,loop 0 0 With this I'm able to add the contents to sources.list with: apt-cdrom -m -d=/home/wena/soka add But then later apt keeps asking me to insert the disk inside as if it does not notice that the image is already mounted. How can I let it install from a mounted image? This is what the relevant line in sources.list file looks like: deb cdrom:[APTonCD for - i386 (2007-10-17 13:19) DVD1]/ / -- my place on the web: floss-and-misc.blogspot.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
