This is what I did.
deleted the symbolic link on /media/apt1
unmounted dvd1
deleted the folder /home/neo1691/dvd1-mountpoint
created a new folder /media/dvd1-mountpoint and mounted the iso using
the command
mount path/to/iso /media/dvd-mountpoint1 -o loop

/home
dvd1-mountpoint is a folder where I mount the iso and /media/apt1 is a

So now what I will do is I will just mount the iso directly into
/media/apt1 where apt1 is a directory not a link. Will this work?

This is wrong, IMO. Should be something like (see fstab(5)):

I have a Lenovo R61 laptop with Squeeze newly installed. The version of
Icedove installed is 10.0.11-1, which is apparently the latest available in
Squeeze.
When I open Icedove -- or try to -- the main window opens, followed by a

Hello,
Is there an easy way of installing a package (namely virtinst) from
Wheezy in Squeeze? I've tried variations of

Hello!
I installed Debian Etch on a PC box with netinstall CD.
Now I want to remove CD driver from this box.
But I want before that to copy the netisntall.iso file
to HDD on that box.
So, when I have removed the CD drive, I want that,
that apt can use this iso file to install some packages.
