+apt-cdrom command
+
+manpagedescription()
+bf(apt-cdrom) is used to add a new CDROM to APTs list of available sources.
+bf(apt-cdrom) takes care of determining the structure of the disc as well
+as correcting for several possible mis-burns and verifying the index files.
+It is necessary to use bf(apt-cdrom) to add CDs to the APT system, it cannot
+be done by hand. Furthermore each disk in a multi-cd set must be inserted
+and scanned seperately to account for possible mis-burns.
+
+em(command) is one of:
+itemize(
+ it() add
+)
+
+Unless the -h, or --help option is given one of the above commands
+must be present.
+
+startdit()
+dit(bf(add))
+bf(add) is used to add a new disc to the source list. It will unmount the
+CDROM device, prompt for a disk to be inserted and then procceed to scan it
+and copy the index files. If the disc does not have a proper bf(.disk/)
+directory you will be prompted for a descriptive title.
+
+APT uses a CDROM ID to track which disc is currently in the drive and
+maintains a database of these IDs in bf(/var/state/apt/cdroms.list)

+startdit()
+dit(bf(-h, --help))
+Show a short usage summary.
+
+dit(bf(-d --cdrom))
+Mount point; specify the location to mount the cdrom. This mount point must
+be listed in bf(/etc/fstab) and propely configured.
+
+dit(bf(-r --rename))
+Rename a disc; change the label of a disk or override the disks given label.
+This option will cause bf(apt-cdrom) to prompt for a new label
+
+dit(bf(-m, --no-mount))
+No mounting; prevent bf(apt-cdrom) from mounting and unmounting the mount
+point.
+
+dit(bf(-f, --fast))
+Fast Copy; Assume the package files are valid and do not check every package.
+This option should be used only if bf(apt-cdrom) has been run on this disc
+before and did not detect any errors.
+
+dit(bf(-n --just-print, --recon, --no-act))
+No Changes; Do not change the sources.list and do not write package files.
+Everything is still checked however.
+
+dit(bf(-c, --config-file))
+Configuration File; Specify a configuration file to use. bf(apt-get) will
+read the default configuration file and then this configuration file. See
+bf(apt.conf(5)) for syntax information.
+
+dit(bf(-o, --option))
+Set a Configuration Option; This will set an arbitary configuration option.
+The syntax is
+verb(-o Foo::Bar=bar)
