I'm trying to learn how to compile some Debian apps from source on disk #4 of
the 6 disc distro. apt-get wants to go to ftp sites, but the machine is not on
the net yet. How can I make it deal with the files on the cdrom? Will dpkg
work? Or do I need to go to console and use basic linux commands on the files?
IF so, how?? Good howto anywhere about exactly what linux commands??? Thanks
in advance.
