Bug Description
when apt-get is getting packages from CD, it asks for the disk labelled 'Ubuntu
4.10 etc etc' in the drive '/cdrom/' which isn't where it's mounted, nor the
name of the drive - perhaps this should be the name of the device from /proc if
possible?

The path is specified by a configuration variable (APT::cdrom::mount, I think),
and defaults to /cdrom. If the default is not suitable, then something
(apt-setup?) should probably specify it explicitly.
