[kde-linux] Add CDs to Kpackage sources, How-To ???

Aug 27, 2006

Hello All,

I'm using Kpackage 3.4.2 level "b" and SuSE 10.0.

I had been using YaST to access the SuSE install disks to get
packages. Then I discovered Kpackage, and would like to use my
Debian Woody and Sarge install disks to access those packages.

How do I do it?

Using my /etc/apt/sources.list from Debian was not read properly by
Kpackage and resulted in errors.

Is it possible to tell Kpackage to read packages off CDs? If so, how?
(I access the internet through dial-up, and really want to use those
14 CDs of packages I have from Debian.)

Thanks All,
Stephen.
