Edit your fstab to read... /cd-image-dir/disk1.iso /debian-disks/1 iso9660 defaults,ro,loop 0 0 /cd-image-dir/disk2.iso /debian-disks/2 iso9660 defaults,ro,loop 0 0 ... /cd-image-dir/diskXX.iso /debian-disks/XX iso9660 defaults,ro,loop 0 0 2. Edit your sources.list to read: deb file:/debian-disks/1/debian main <sections that you want> deb file:/debian-disks/2/debian main <sections that you want> ... deb file:/debian-disks/XX/debian main <sections that you want> 3. apt-get update Now you will be able to do everything without having to pop in your CDs everytime.
