Binary package hint: synaptic

On the UBUNTU SOFTWARE TAB of the Repositories/Software sources Box, i
checked box beside "CDROM with ubuntu 10.04 'Lucid Lynx'" and got this
error (with disk in drive of course)...

?quote?
error:
Failed to fetch cdrom://Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS _Lucid Lynx_ - Release amd64 (20110211.1)/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz  Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs

Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

went to next tab, "other software". it had ADD CDROM but it said
"waiting for disk..." and another message "Please insert a disk in the
drive" i had the file browser open showing the files on the disk.  so i
clicked OK and i got "error scanning the CD", "E:Failed to mount the
cdrom."


if these functions are supposed to work, then its a bug, if not, and i am supposed to use the command line, then remove the stuff that doesnt work. im a bit heated over the diifficulties in this OS forgive my unhappiness... now i have to download all the stuff i want...
