    How to use aptitud install direct from the hard disc?

    Hello!

    I want to do a copy of the DVDs of Debian's installation to my hard disc, so that when I do aptitude install xxx it could do it directly from the hard disc.

    Can someone help me, please?

    Everything what I have till now are the 3 ISO of Debian's installation.
    But I don't know how I must mount that and modify the sources.list file.

    Thank you very much!

    Just edit your
    Code:
    /etc/apt/sources.list
    and replace with the line
    Code:
    deb file:/HD_location_of_packages stable main contrib
    Then apt-get update. Now the next time you install something it should come from your HD location
    sources.list
