If this is a Sarge install, then use mount /dev/hdc /media/cdrom BTW, You will need to update your Debian from the net eventually since the CD isn't likely to contain the latest packages. Hope this helps. Kenny On Tue, Apr 19, 2005 at 10:05:59PM +0100, Andrew Hodgson wrote: > Hi, > > Just installed Debian and am trying to use apt-get.
