1b85f81a | 34 | <para><command>apt-cdrom</command> is used to add a new CD-ROM to APT's list |
24f6490f AL |
35 | of available sources. <command>apt-cdrom</command> takes care of |
36 | determining the structure of | |
37 | the disc as well as correcting for several possible mis-burns and | |
38 | verifying the index files. | |
39 | </para> | |

41 | <para>It is necessary to use <command>apt-cdrom</command> to add CDs to the | |
6f33340f | 42 | APT system; |
bfcd7854 | 43 | it cannot be done by hand. Furthermore each disc in a multi-CD set must be |
24f6490f AL |
44 | inserted and scanned separately to account for possible mis-burns. |
