There is (a way). You did it (put a comment in front of the source line). :-) While the "solution" might appear to be:- 1. identify install medium/source (fixed drive, removable drive, iso on fixed drive, iso on removable drive, pxe, dvd/cd etc, etc, etc) 2. add install medium/source to sources.list 3. finish install and test for existence of install medium/source 4. if install medium/source still present - enable entry in sources.list 5.... It doesn't allow for a myriad of other situations (eg. add online repositories and custom local repositories to install source, build time setup is only for build time). So the most common source of install packages for the lowest skilled installer is made the default. Perhaps as well as an end of build instruction to remove the install media before rebooting (for those that reboot) could be accompanied by instruction on how to comment out the DVD/CD source lines - but that creates problems for the many that will want to use the original CD/DVD as a source for additional package installs. I guess that's the very small price we pay for a huge range of installation choices. Cheers P.S. While you're commenting out the install CD/DVD lines from sources.list - presumably because you want to pull further packages from somewhere else. If you're not going to build anything from source - comment out the scr lines as well. It'll mean an update pulls down less data. -- "This is where we are at right now, as a whole.
