apt-setup8

Usage

Overview

apt-setup is an interactive program that simplifies adding sources to apt's sources.list. It knows about all the major debian mirrors and can help you select one. It can even use apt-cdrom(8) to scan CDs.

Options

probe

By default no probing of CDs is done. Passing "probe" as the first argument to this program will make it probe for a CD in the drive on startup and add it to sources.list. This is useful on initial debian installs, to minimize interaction with the user.

-N

This parameter allows apt-setup to run in noninteractive mode if its debconf questions have been preseeded.
