With the first DVD of Debian 9.8.0 I did:

I edited sources.list to read

When running Synaptic's
Edit->Reload Package Information
I receive an error message:
The repository 'file:/home/richard/dvd.iso stretch Release'
does not have a Release file.
What is the problem?
The problem is that the .iso is not a mounted filesystem.
You could:
$ mkdir /home/richard/dvdmount
$ sudo mount /home/richard/dvd.iso /home/richard/dvdmount
If it complains about the filetype, try -t udf or -t iso9660.
It did not complain.
and then you can use this sources.list line:
deb file:///home/richard/dvdmount stretch main contrib trusted=yes
(or similar; I don't recall if the debian repository on disc
starts in the root of the disc)
I now get a different error message:
The repository 'file:/home/richard/dvdmount stretch Release' is not signed.
I also added "allow-insecure=yes" to sources.list with the same result.
Try [trusted=yes] and/or [allow-insecure=yes] --- the brackets
are part of the syntax.
Same message using each separately and using both.
