'apt-cdrom add' is not working


After I tried to install Debian, I got to the apt sources configuration section. I'm using a DVD to install from. For some reason, it isn't working.

I logged in as root and typed in 'apt-cdrom add'. It says "E: Unable to load mount point". E:\ is my cd drive. Why isn't it working? The cd was working until I got to this point. Please help.



I think it's because I didn't mount /cdrom or something - how do I correctly configure that?

This is a very newbie question, but it's blocking me from installing C/C++ and X-Windows.

Just for your information E: is not the drive letter in Linux. It stands for error!

Linux does not use Windows drive mapping...

Hope that helps.
