CD Repository for Synaptic

[Matthew S-H]

OK.  I hope I'm not tiring you guys out with all my questions.  And I 
rly appreciate all the help.  Anyway....:

I had been looking thru my repositories in the "Settings > 
Repositories" menu of Synaptic.  I had accidentally deleted the 
repository that was on the install CD.
Now, heres my prob:
When I go to "Edit > Add CD-ROM... > OK"  It gives me a message saying 
"Unable to stat the mount point /cdrom/ - stat (2 No such file or 
directory)".  I assume this is because I don't have my 2 CD drives 
mounting in "/cdrom/".  Instead, I had modified "/etc/fstab" so that my 
DVD player and CD burner mounted in "/mnt/hdc/" and "/mnt/hdd/" 
respectively.  I chose these names because I wanted all of my mounts 
(besides my "/" mount) to go at "/mnt/" in a folder that was the same 
as their device id.  For example, my DVD player is "/dev/hdc/" and my 
CD burner is "/dev/hdd/".
Is there any way to get Synaptic to recognize these mount points so I 
can add a repository from the CD?  I don't want to have to try to move 
it all back to "/cdrom/" (and I don't remember the exact directory 
structure of "/cdrom/").
