Re: [Question #76938]: Ubuntu 8.04 update manager needs mystery disk

 

Question #76938 on Ubuntu changed:

Tom proposed the following answer:
Also you might be able to do much the same through using Synaptic
Package Manager but it will give more of a hint how to fully take
advantage of this sort of thing.  Go up to the top taskbar and click on

System - Administration - Synaptic Package Manager

it asks for your normal user password, not your SuperUser/Root one.
Click on

Settings - Repositories

and then the 2 tabs "Ubuntu Software" and "Third Party Software" should
have interesting things to tick or untick to help with using cd's for
installing programs ;)

I hope this helps!
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
