Hello. I was hoping to create a CD-ROM of both Debian's non-free and multimedia repositories. Via debmirror, I downloaded the non-free repository. I then burned this to disk, but, upon trying to add the CD-ROM to my sources.list via "apt-cdrom add", I received MD5sum not found errors. The CD-ROM contains the files Release, Packages, Packages.gz, and Packages.bz2, in the /dists/etch/non-free/binary-i386/ directory. Perhaps this is in the wrong directory. The Packages file contains the MD5sum numbers. The errors it gives are all similar to the example below:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ su Password: debian:/home/mark# apt-cdrom add Using CD-ROM mount point /cdrom/ Unmounting CD-ROM Waiting for disc... Please insert a Disc in the drive and press enter Mounting CD-ROM... Identifying.. [be6b5615bc67ca000eab4ed052ab1b4f-2] Scanning disc for index files.. Found 1 package indexes, 0 source indexes and 1 signatures Please provide a name for this Disc, such as ‘Debian 2.1r1 Disk 1’: Debian 4.0r1 non-free E: Unable to determine the file size - fstat (9 Bad file descriptor) W: MD5 mismatch for: non-free/debian-installer/binary-ia64/Packages E: Could not open file /cdrom/dists/etch/non-free/debian-installer/binary-ia64/Packages.bz2 - open (2 No such file or directory) etc. The errors mostly centre on the debian-installer file, and various other architectures besides i386. I put in this file (debian-installer), with the packages files, but still it did not work. So, is it possible to have non-free and multimedia repositories on CD-ROM for apt and/or aptitude, or is this only possible via the internet? Mark
