<RefSect1><Title>Description</>
<para>
<command/apt-cdrom/ is used to add a new CDROM to APTs list of available
sources. <command/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.
<para>
It is necessary to use <command/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 separately to account for possible mis-burns.
<para>
Unless the <option/-h/, or <option/--help/ option is given one of the
above commands must be present.
<VariableList>
<VarListEntry><Term>add</Term>
<ListItem><Para>
<literal/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
<filename>.disk/</> directory you will be prompted for a descriptive
title.
<para>
APT uses a CDROM ID to track which disc is currently in the drive and
maintains a database of these IDs in
<filename>&statedir;/cdroms.list</>
</VarListEntry>
<VarListEntry><Term>ident</Term>
<ListItem><Para>
A debugging tool to report the identity of the current disc as well
as the stored file name

<VarListEntry><term><option/-r/</><term><option/--rename/</>
