archive-copier doesn't do anything with Ship

[Erik Iohansson]

Hi I recently installed Ubuntu, I got the question "dow you want to copy all the
packatges on the CD to your harddrive", but even though I answered yes here
nothing really happned, I still have to insert the CD each time i start aptitude.

This might be my fault since I installed Ubuntu in a non supported way. I
downloaded hd-media install from a debian archive (as stated in
doc/install/INSTALLATION-HOWTO), and there for I used a iso file to install my
system, when I insert a CD i actually loop mount it...

I use

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) installation CD-ROM, built on 20041018.

We only copy the set of packages that make up the Ubuntu desktop at the moment;
this relieves CD users of the need to re-insert the CD after the first reboot.
We should eventually do something with the other stuff on the CD too.

I actually fixed this even before writing that last comment (but after the CD
image Erik tested), by arranging for the ship seed to end up in
/var/cache/apt/archives after installation. Not sure why I forgot about this at
the time.
