Am I the only one who's reading this exchange and wondering what people
are thinking? How, exactly, does dselect (in the previous reply) and
apt-cache help him determine which CD the software is on? I mean what
if he's on a slow link, has the CDs a friend gave him and wants to
install from that medium. Am I missing some magical function of dselect
and apt-cache which describes which CD a package is on? Mine certainly
don't cough up that information. It's not in the package description.
Is this another case of rewriting the question and then answering the
rewrite?
