Simply whether cdrom is allowed as a deb source, it does not disable
it from the repository, and I do not see an option in apt-get that can
be passed to disable cdrom:
36 if @@checkedforcdrom and @resource[:allowcdrom] != :true
37 raise Puppet::Error,
38 "/etc/apt/sources.list contains a cdrom source; not
installing. Use 'allowcdrom' to override this failure."
39 end
I would manage the sources.list as a file resource if you need to disable cdrom.
