so as you can see there are 8 DVDs that i am trying to install different software from. the problem is that whenever i try to install something synaptic tells me to
Please insert the disk labeled:
ubuntu 10.04 disc 3 of 8
in drive /cdrom/
i do so, then i get an error message from ubuntu saying that it failed to fetch several packages from the disc listed above.
when i check the mount point of the /cdrom/ it has now been changed to media/apt/ so i'm guessing synaptic is looking for media/cdrom/ but cannot find it. how do i get it to stop changing the name of the mount point and why is it doing this? could it have something to do with my modem? as i have noticed that for the first time since i have been using ubuntu (since ver 7.10, 8.04, 9.04) ubuntu 10.04 is listing my modem huawei e220 (usb hsdpa modem) as a disc drive. could this be related?
