Apt on CDROM (and nice sound editing, too)

[Erich Schroeder <erich@museum.state.il.us>]

Hear ye, O apt fans,
  In my searches for useful software to digitize my old LPs for cdburning 
I came across a really useful site for general redhat apt users. At 
"planet CCRMA" http://www-ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/ you can 
download apt-enabled iso images of the RedHat updates, as well as 
apt-enabled isos of their own fine audio workstation software. This is 
great for people like me who have good connections (and access to 
cdburners) at work, but really poor bandwidth at home. The update iso I 
downloaded last friday (sept 13) was up to date as of August 28, so it 
covers all the big updates so far.

  When you have one of these iso's burned to a CD, you type 
"apt-cdrom add" and it prompts you for the name you want to use for the 
cd. It then includes that package information whenever you do an apt-get 
operation. Cool.

Erich
