A basic question about apt-cdrom (was: Handling apt-get, apt-cdrom, sources.list, cdroms.list)

07/08/2007, 18h40

Hi.

After adding a CD-ROM with `apt-cdrom', running `apt-get update' will be
enough? Or should I also run `apt-get dist-upgrade' as a third step?

I couldn't find an answer in the Debian documentation.

Tnanks for any reply,
Rodolfo

Using apt-cdrom is enough as far as I know; it will add the apt source entry
and create the list of what packages are on the CD so apt knows what is there.
Whether you upgrade (using "apt-get upgrade" or "apt-get dist-upgrade") using
the newly available packages is up to you.

apt-cdrom is enough. Even you don't need apt-get update.
