My sources.list references it as:
deb [ Trusted=yes ] file:////home/richard/DVDs/dvd1/ buster main
contrib non-free
In Synaptic when I do Edit->Reload Package Information it responds:
The repository 'file://home/richard/DVDs/dvd1 buster Release' is not

What do I do?
What should I have read?
"man sources.list" will give you the format of the "deb ..." line. In
particular, it will tell you that the command for setting a repository
to trusted is "trusted", rather than "Trusted". Computers can be a
little TOO literal at times.
That works. I had had it lowercase but I was also chasing some other
error and the page of examples I was following had it upper case. One of
those cases where it would be nice to have a larger variety of examples
on the man page.
*THANK YOU*!
