[Bug 940867] Re: The alternate install procedure doesn't add the CDROM to the apt sources

[blue balls]

yurikoles, maybe you're right, but this is a bug in my opinion.
  
  Suppose that someone installs just the base system and not the desktop packages. This could be done for example on a server.
  After rebooting the user is stuck since he/she cannot install anything else from the CDROM.
  The user needs to be quite proficient in Linux to know how the apt system works, to know about its source lists, etc..
  
  A beginner or even an advanced Windows user with less experience with Linux would find this situation very frustrating.
  I believe the CDROM should be added in one of the first steps.

  Could you please confirm the bug so that someone looks at it ?

Title:
  The alternate install procedure doesn't add the CDROM to the apt
  sources

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
    I installed Kubuntu 11.10 with the alternate install CDROM.
    I only installed the base system, not the desktop packages.
    I rebooted the.computer into the newly installed Kubuntu and tried to install additional packages from the CDROM.
    Unfortunately this failed as the CDROM was not in the apt sources list in the file:

      /etc/apt/sources.list

    The solution was to add the CDROM manually with

     apt-cdrom add

    However, this problem should be fixed in the alternate installer in my opinion.
    Otherwise, please provide an explanation of why this shouldn't be the case.
