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.)

To test this, insert a CD-ROM and give commands
|
|
|
|
<BR> <BR>
|
|
|
|
<tt> mount /cdrom</tt><BR>
|
|
<tt> ls -alF /cdrom </tt>
|
|
(this should show the CD-ROM's root directory)<BR>
|
|
<tt> umount /cdrom</tt>
|
|
|
|
<BR> <BR>
|
|
|
|
Then, use the command
|
|
|
|
<BR> <BR>
|
|
|
|
<tt>
|
|
apt-cdrom add
|
|
</tt>
|
|
|
|
<BR> <BR>
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
CD-ROM automatically. You should repeat this command for all 2.2 `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,
