update asking for cd
 

i just installed debian 7.7.0 and slackware 14.1 dual boot on a laptop with an i7 processor. i am tweaking the settings, have to get used to the changes. i like most of them, but i need to smooth it out. the main concern i have is trying to update. whether i use apt in the terminal or the package manager it keeps asking to insert the other disc. i looked at the source.list and have:
at first i thought i may have gotten a recent iso, but when i couldn't install virtualbox, i started looking closer.

Also look in the sources.list.d directory.
There is a reference to the CD in there somewhere that you should comment out.

Did you remove or comment out the cdrom in /etc/apt/sources.list? There are usually 2 entries for cdrom, with 1 of them uncommented. Also add non-free to "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib". After commenting out cdrom run
You really don't need virtualbox repo because vbox is already in debian repo's.
Post /etc/apt/sorces.list

i found two entries for a cd/dvvd at the top and both were commented out. i also found an entry in the comments that said commented out by installer because it failed to verify. it also said that no entries were specified at time of install, so the ones here are provided as an example. when i installed, it wouldn't connect to the network, so i went without a repo, knowing i could add one later, so i didn't cause any problems. i had a day and a half trying to get the install to take, now it won't update.

it won't add the printer either, so i need to take care of iptables. i had to take the hard drive and put it in another computer to get it installed this time. i may just go ahead and blow the install and do it over rather than try to tweak it. only thing is, the slackware partition won't recognize the wi-fi and the only other laptop i have for work is a kali/pentoo box. they aren't very user friendly as an everyday box. ah, the joys of going windowless...at least once i get it set up, it stays that way for a while. long enough to create an image anyway.

i don't know what happened, but when i tried it again, it worked. i think it's the motherboard honestly. it had a cup of coffee spilled onto it two years ago, and it has acted strange occaisionally ever since. like the dvd player won't boot the debian install disc, but it burns it, and it is bootable. and the camera or speakers don't work, haven't with windows either. anyway, i am marking it solved. thanx for the help.

You need to add security to sources.list. Use this to get your sources.list right.
