Updating LINUX softwares or Installing softwares from the Internet


You just have to go to synaptic package manager-----> Settings------->Preferences----------->Third Party software tab.....

here just uncheck the cdrom option...

once you are done with this....just select Revert


DarkKnight: hey how can i start updates from the internet...wen i try to update..it asks me to insert cd

Jack_Sparrow: DarkKnight remove the cd option from your sources

Halitech: DarkKnight, in synaptic, uncheck the cd

retour: DarkKnight: because it's the only thing in your repos?

jpinx: DarkKnight: check your sources.list

liable: DarkKnight: comment out the cd line in sources

DarkKnight: Jack_Sparrow, Halitech, retour; so suppose if i want it to first check for cd..and if not found then to install from the internet...then what do i have to do??


Halitech: DarkKnight, I could be wrong but I don't think its an and/or option, if it is checked it is going to look there and fail if not found


simonrvn: DarkKnight: erm, you can do that - not directly however - using the netinst; it'll fetch most of the stuff to install via network
