Hi!
I have several comments about how synaptic handles installation of
packages from a CD-ROM.
First of all, when the packages are fetched from the CD, the download
speed and remaining time are both displayed as zeros. For example, if
you are installing some kde package which is some 20-30 megabytes, then
it takes several seconds to fetch it, but not 0 :-) And the download
speed is surely higher than 0 b/s :-)
Secondly, it would be great that in case a package is available on
several repositories, the following fetch order would be used:
- local file
- CD
- ftp/http
Currently, as I understood the package source is selected randomly. So,
if you try to install all packages from a CD, there is a chance that
some will be fetched from the web instead.
Thanks,
Andrey
