38 | <para><command>apt-cdrom</command> is used to add a new CDROM to APTs list | |
39 | of available sources. <command>apt-cdrom</command> takes care of | |
40 | determining the structure of | |
41 | the disc as well as correcting for several possible mis-burns and | |
42 | verifying the index files. | |

44 | ||
45 | <para>It is necessary to use <command>apt-cdrom</command> to add CDs to the | |
46 | APT system, | |
47 | it cannot be done by hand. Furthermore each disk in a multi-cd set must be | |
48 | inserted and scanned separately to account for possible mis-burns. | |
