how to restore packages from AptOnCD

[vadania]

How do I install packages on a AptOnCD backup? Using the AptOnCD only copies them to apt cache, but does not install them properly.

Or how do I install all packages in a directory?
Or how do I install all packages in cache?

Im still wondering why it doesnt install them.. i had the same issue in my friends house to. What i did was go to /var/cache/apt/archives (i THINK thats where the packages are stored) and i did

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

That installed everything

I think you should use

sudo apt-cdrom

with the CD in to add the CD as a source. Then you should be able to go into Synaptic (System>Admin) and in the bottom left click the origin button, the CD should be one of the sources, click that then select all and mark for install.

after adding cd rom we just see all the packages!
how to know the packages only on cd from the list ,, or can we create a separate list for the all packages on cd!?

[linuxtoindia]

still not fixed!!


and can we add the iso image itself instead of cd?
or the user cache itself ?
to the synaptic?

Sorry I'm having a little trouble understanding what you mean.

Were you able to add the cdrom using apt-cdrom add?
Did the CD appear in the Synaptic when you click the origin button in the bottom left?
