First of all, comment out every line of <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> by
placing a hash sign (`<tt>#</tt>') in front of it (if it isn't already
there).
<P>
Then you need to add new "<tt>deb</tt>" lines describing the location(s)
where apt will get the new packages from. You can add "<tt>deb</tt>" lines
for a packages mirror on a local harddisk, and/or FTP/HTTP mirrors, and/or
(a set of) CD-ROMs. `Apt' will consider all packages that can be found
via any "<tt>deb</tt>" line, and use the one with the highest version
number, giving priority to the first mentioned lines. (So, in case of
multiple mirror locations, you'd typically first name a local harddisk,
then CD-ROMs, and finally FTP/HTTP mirrors.)

typically have to add lines like these:

NOTE: if you're using the static versions of `apt' and `dpkg' from this
directory, the hostname-lookup is "broken" (which is one reason to just
use slink's `apt'). The solution is to simply put the mirrors' IP address
in the "<tt>deb</tt>" line. (Hint: "<tt>nslookup some-server</tt>")

If you use (one or more) CD-ROMs, do _not_ add any lines to sources.list
manually.
<BR>&nbsp;<BR>
Instead, first make sure there is a line in <tt>/etc/fstab</tt> that
connects the <tt>/cdrom</tt> mount point with your CD-ROM drive (the
exact `<tt>/cdrom</tt>' mount point is "required" for apt). For example,
if
#if ARCHi386
<tt>/dev/hdc</tt>
#else
<tt>/dev/scd0</tt>
#endif
is your CD-ROM drive, <tt>/etc/fstab</tt> should
contain a line
#if ARCHi386
#if OUTPUTtext
<PRE>
/dev/hdc /cdrom auto defaults,noauto,ro 0 0
</PRE>
#endif
#if OUTPUThtml
<PRE>
/dev/hdc /cdrom auto defaults,noauto,ro 0 0
</PRE>
#endif
#else
#if OUTPUTtext
<PRE>
/dev/scd0 /cdrom auto defaults,noauto,ro 0 0
</PRE>
#endif
#if OUTPUThtml
<PRE>
/dev/scd0 /cdrom auto defaults,noauto,ro 0 0
</PRE>
#endif
#endif
To test this, insert a CD-ROM and give commands
<BR>&nbsp;<BR>
<tt>&nbsp; mount /cdrom</tt><BR>
<tt>&nbsp; ls -alF /cdrom &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</tt>
2002-12-20 00:43:28 -01:00
(should show the CD-ROM's root directory)<BR>
<tt>&nbsp; umount /cdrom</tt>
<BR>&nbsp;<BR>
Then, use the command
<BR>&nbsp;<BR>
<tt>&nbsp;
apt-cdrom add
</tt>
<BR>&nbsp;<BR>
2002-12-20 00:43:28 -01:00
to add the data of each CD-ROM to apt's internal database.
This command will ask for one CD-ROM per run, and mount/unmount the
2002-12-20 00:43:28 -01:00
CD-ROM automatically. You should repeat this command for all 3.0 `Binary'
CD-ROMs you have.
#if UPGRADING
(`Source' CD-ROMs can be added as well, but only with the
latest version of `apt' from this directory, and they are not needed for
the upgrade anyway.)

When the <tt>sources.list</tt> is correct,
the final step of the preparation is to update apt's internal database
with the command
<P>
<tt>&nbsp;
apt-get update
