Hi Andrei. Firstly, thank you very much for your kind reply. Please accept my apologies for taking to long to get back to you - I was unable to connect to the Net with my other PC until now due to entirely unconnected other issues.
I checked the items you asked about: yes there is a /dev/cdrom which is symlinked to /dev/sr0, and the fstab line read: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 I then altered the fstab as you suggested, to read: /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 I then restarted the apt-get dist-upgrade. This time, it was able to read the CD first time and is now proceeding with the upgrade. :))))))) It therefore seems as though you have hit the nail precisely on the head and solved my problem at a stroke! Assuming it continues as well as it's going right now, I should have as excellent a wheezy installation as my old squeeze. :)) You guys are the best, and may I also say that I have previously used both Fedora and Mandriva, and for in my humble but always outspoken opinion, Debian is superior in every way. Hopefully I won't need to trouble you again, but if you need anything from me to investigate further, don't hesitate to let me know.
