Hi all

I'm using Debian Etch.
Few days ago i got Elive cd. The details on /in the cd says that I can
install packages from that cd to my Debian. But I'm unable to "add" the
cd to the sourses list and I cannot install packages from the elive cd.
What did you write in your source.list?
I do not use that CD myself but I think it should contain a directory
with deb packages in it.

Is there any method to install packages from the cd??
You can copy packages from the CD to your harddisk (e.g. ~/ directory)
and run dpkg -i package.deb as root to install it.
Please help me.
Thanks.
