How to Install Ubuntu Repository DVD Lucid Lynx 10.04

Below I will share a tutorial how to install Ubuntu repository DVD Lucid Lynx 10.04.

How to install it, not much different with the install dvd repo in ubuntu 9.10 just need a bit of addition.

let’s follow these steps:

Step 1
Create a file .ISO from the 8th DVD Repository Ubuntu LTS 10.04
how to copy DVDs and create a folder in the repository/home with any name. as the example I gave a Repository, so it will be as follows/home/username/repository (look for large and small letters)

Step 2
Copy all the files. ISO Repository folder.
Example: /home/rapi/repository/disk1
for the first DVD named disk1, disk2 name the second DVD and so on until the eighth DVD.

so there will be eight folders in/home/user/repository

Step 3
Then make a folder in/mnt, a number of files. ISO repository
by way of open applications > accessories > terminal and enter the command below.

sudo mkdir /mnt/repo1
sudo mkdir /mnt/repo2
sudo mkdir /mnt/repo3
sudo mkdir /mnt/repo4
sudo mkdir /mnt/repo5
sudo mkdir /mnt/repo6
sudo mkdir /mnt/repo7
sudo mkdir /mnt/repo8

Step 4
Now it is time we mount-ing all the files automatically .ISO is in the folder /home/neat/Repository into/mnt.
The trick, open the file/etc/fstab.
$ Sudo gedit/etc/fstab
And add the command below:

view sourceprint?
#Repository
/home/namauser/repository/disk1.iso /mnt/repo1 iso9660 loop,defaults 0 0
/home/namauser/repository/disk2.iso /mnt/repo2 iso9660 loop,defaults 0 0
/home/namauser/repository/disk3.iso /mnt/repo3 iso9660 loop,defaults 0 0
/home/namauser/repository/disk4.iso /mnt/repo4 iso9660 loop,defaults 0 0
/home/namauser/repository/disk5.iso /mnt/repo5 iso9660 loop,defaults 0 0
/home/namauser/repository/disk6.iso /mnt/repo6 iso9660 loop,defaults 0 0
/home/namauser/repository/disk7.iso /mnt/repo7 iso9660 loop,defaults 0 0
/home/namauser/repository/disk8.iso /mnt/repo8 iso9660 loop,defaults 0 0

Step 5
Save the file, then restart your computer/laptop you. Make sure the files. ISO was mounting automatically when startup. To view them, whether it’s too mountings.

how: Just open the System Monitor, System ? Administration ? System Monitor > tab of the file system

Step 6
For the last step ie, add the following command in the file/etc/apt/sources.list
$ Sudo gedit/etc/apt/sources.list
Add the following command:

#From File
deb file:/mnt/repo1/ lucid main
deb file:/mnt/repo2/ lucid main restricted multiverse
deb file:/mnt/repo3/ lucid multiverse universe
deb file:/mnt/repo4/ lucid universe
deb file:/mnt/repo5/ lucid universe
deb file:/mnt/repo6/ lucid universe
deb file:/mnt/repo7/ lucid universe
deb file:/mnt/repo8/ lucid universe

Step 7
Exit and save the file. Then update the source by way of:
$ Sudo apt-get update
Hopefully helpful, good luck.
