manpagesynopsis()
apt-cdrom command
manpagedescription()
bf(apt-cdrom) is used to add a new CDROM to APTs list of available sources.
bf(apt-cdrom) takes care of determining the structure of the disc as well
as correcting for several possible mis-burns and verifying the index files.
It is necessary to use bf(apt-cdrom) to add CDs to the APT system, it cannot
be done by hand. Furthermore each disk in a multi-cd set must be inserted
and scanned seperately to account for possible mis-burns.
em(command) is one of:
itemize(
it() add
)
Unless the -h, or --help option is given one of the above commands
must be present.
startdit()
dit(bf(add))
bf(add) is used to add a new disc to the source list. It will unmount the
CDROM device, prompt for a disk to be inserted and then procceed to scan it
and copy the index files. If the disc does not have a proper bf(.disk/)
directory you will be prompted for a descriptive title.
APT uses a CDROM ID to track which disc is currently in the drive and
maintains a database of these IDs in bf(/var/state/apt/cdroms.list)
enddit()
manpageoptions()
startdit()
dit(bf(-h, --help))
Show a short usage summary.
dit(bf(-d --cdrom))
Mount point; specify the location to mount the cdrom. This mount point must
be listed in bf(/etc/fstab) and propely configured.
dit(bf(-r --rename))
Rename a disc; change the label of a disk or override the disks given label.
This option will cause bf(apt-cdrom) to prompt for a new label
dit(bf(-m, --no-mount))
No mounting; prevent bf(apt-cdrom) from mounting and unmounting the mount
point.
dit(bf(-f, --fast))
Fast Copy; Assume the package files are valid and do not check every package.
This option should be used only if bf(apt-cdrom) has been run on this disc
before and did not detect any errors.
dit(bf(-n --just-print, --recon, --no-act))
No Changes; Do not change the sources.list and do not write package files.
Everything is still checked however.
dit(bf(-c, --config-file))
Configuration File; Specify a configuration file to use. bf(apt-get) will
read the default configuration file and then this configuration file. See
bf(apt.conf(5)) for syntax information.
dit(bf(-o, --option))
Set a Configuration Option; This will set an arbitary configuration option.
The syntax is
verb(-o Foo::Bar=bar)
enddit()
