    Jakob, a little light is begging to shine. In my reading I did not see
    anything about apt-cdrom, and so had to guess what had to be added to
    the config file. I guessed, wrong, it seems.

    I removed the http subsection I had put into the /etc/apt/apt.conf
    file, and ran the apt-get update. Not sure if I succeeded. There was a
    lot I missed because scrolled off my xterm, and I can't copy/paste
    from xterm to get a decent example.

    However, from what I see, there's a lot about apt-get update should
    not be used to add new cds; I should use apt-cdrom for that (now that
    I know such a command exists, the man page is somewhat useful). A set
    of warnings like this is repeated for each of the seven original disks
    I had used to install debian. In fact, the entire response that I can
    see consists of this, except for the three final lines: Reading
    package lists..., Building dependency tree..., E: some index files
    failed to download.

    So I'm not sure if my command succeeded or not. However, when I run #
    aptitude install <package_not_on_my_cdroms>, it does not seek for it
    on the web, but just a bunch of warnings that it could not stat source
    package list cdrom.

    Haines
