debian wheezy-after install, how to import remaing packages in disk 2-10 using apt?
Successfully installed Debian Wheezy i.e., disk 1. Using apt how do I import the remaining pkgs on disk 2 - 10. I have disk 2 ready in the reader - what do I do next?

What disks are those? Debian fits on a single DVD.
Where did these disks originate? |
Normally you would install a program from the extra disks, not import(?) them all.
(The disks should be listed in /etc/apt/sources.list, I believe) Edit: When you try to install a program, apt will tell you which disk to insert. |

Where did these disks originate?): The disk came from OSdisk.com. Ten 64bit DVDs. Disk one does have a complete Debian OS which has been installed. (Normally you would install a program from the extra disks, not import(?) them all.): I installed the complete Debain OS from Disk one. "Import" may not have been the correct term. I want to add the packages from Disks two - ten. (The disks should be listed in /etc/apt/sources.list, I believe): Packages from the remaining Disks were not transferred to the system. This sources file has only comments (#). (Edit: When you try to install a program, apt will tell you which disk to insert.): Correct, but after the complete Debian OS was installed, further input was then stopped without a dual boot. There are thousands of packages in the other nine disks. Attempt to de-confuse: I have installed Debian OS (from OSDisk.com) as the only OS on computers several times, then a dual boot was not required. In those installs I did not terminate the install and completed installing the packages from the remaining disk. This last install required a dual boot on an Acer with MS8.1. I installed the Debian OS without a dual boot. It was 3 months before I found some one that could install a dual boot. The dual boot was installed 3 months after the Debian OS. Until the dual boot was installed I could not get to the Debian system. That left me 9 Disks to add to the sources list. BOTTOM LINE: I have a fully functioning Debian OS and I want to add the packages from the remaining Disk i.e. Disks two - ten. |
Post your sources.list please.
You attempt to de-confuse has confused me. What do you mean by "dual boot"? I suppose you could try: Code:
# apt-get install .* |
