Why does apt-get ask for the cd?

[titus]

When i did 'sudo apt-get install nmap' i was asked to insert the ubuntu cd.

Why does it need to do this?

Can I turn this off?

Thanks,

Titus.

It's probably because you still have a line in your /etc/apt/sources.list file, where it is said that the cd is a place where to get packages.
If you comment it out, everything should be ok, and only the net will be used.

yep, thought i'd checked that, but there it is.

it was hiding on the first line :?
