It wasn't quite "behind its back" -- synaptic was not running at the time.
Without the editing, "reload" would have left me in Warty.  I'm not completely
familiar with synaptic yet, so just followed instructions about editing, but I'm
experienced enough to have the app shut down while I did it.  I didn't edit the
CD line because I wasn't quite sure the exact disk label to use.

This doesn't add up.  Hoary was released a couple of days ago, and
it's uploading
928 packages.  Am I to take it none of them got onto the CD?  Aside
from installing
C/Java development tools I don't change much from vanilla.
