Underlying Problem: Debian is *TOO* good and reliable ;}!
32 bit Debian 9.13 has given yeoman service.
But I want some features that weren't available in the Jurassic.
Having a low data cap, I went to local library and downloaded
[ seamonkey-2.53.19.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 ].

This morning's install was straight forward and relatively uneventful.
For it to be "functional" I need some tools I've had ~forever:
  1. caja-admin to have "open as administrator".
  2. arandr to have a screen big enough and bright enough to see.

In Synaptic I attempted to connect to an online repository.
It told me:
> The repository 'cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux 12.7.0 _Bookworm_ - Official > amd64 DVD Binary-1 with firmware 20240831-10:40] bookworm Release' does
    > not have a Release file.
I saw no way to tell it to go online.

Synaptic's small dim "Help" didn't ;{
I haven't installed Debian programs in eons - What/where should I be reading?

TIA
