Dear friends,

I am to this forum, I have a question i am using debian7, I have all these dvd downloaded in iso format. i wish to add these dvd index files in synatic repository but failed.

I sucessfully mounted image in /media/cdrom0
but i cant add the index file
I tried "apt-cdrom -d /media/cdrom1 add" after creating directory in media

the message comes as use this command to add other cds but i cant find it in repository

Please help me friends, if there is any problem with above message please forgive me.

thank you,

Dvd of what? Debian packages? If that's it you should be able to add that to the /etc/apt/sources.list file. I'm not a Debain user so can't give you any details but googling might help. If the iso files have something else, more info.

I'm confused
0 != 1 ( 0 is not 1 )

best not to create your own dirs in /media
These directories are maintained by the systems automount, typically the "volume label" failing that the UUID

A good place to put your own mountpoint is in /mnt/

but you might be better off using the --auto-detect flag,
e.g. insert disk and apt-cdrom add --auto-detect

Dear friends,


Thanks for your reply. the problem is i want to add "iso" dvd image file in repository. I know how to add dvd in synaptic but i am asking about adding iso files does any one knows the way.

thank you

"Automagic"
add an entry in /etc/fstab

for example, a line such as
as root
and then add to /etc/apt/source.list ( or new file in /etc/apt/source.list.d )


man fstab
man sources.list

for more details,

note, for older versions of mount you may need to add loop option ( ro,loop )
