Bug Description
When installing restricted ATI fglrx driver on Gutsy Gibbon beta, the repositories are set by default to include the CD, which is good. But if the CD is not available when trying to install driver, the program does not fail gracefully, and try to contact the network. This results in the driver installation failing, the screen resolution being reset to 640x480 on next boot, and the machine left in an intermediate, but still usable state.
This may be a design problem in apt/synaptic. Should it skip over the CD if it is not supplied, and try an online repository? Or just rollback the install more gracefully, if the CD is not supplied?
