You need a recent apt (for example apt-0.3.6.1 which by no doubt is
outdated by now) and apt.conf:
|[EMAIL PROTECTED]/121]:~$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf
|Acquire
|{
| CDRom
| {
| Mount "/mnt/cdrom";
| "/mnt/cdrom/"
| {
| Mount "smbmount //janeway/cdrom /mnt/cdrom -U user -P password";
| UMount "umount /mnt/cdrom";
| }
| }
|}
|
|[EMAIL PROTECTED]/122]:~$
The smbmount command line is for a 2.0.x style kernel, that line must
mount the cd-rom without doing and interactive things like asking for
a password.
