<para><command>apt-cdrom</command> is used to add a new CD-ROM to APT's list
of available sources. <command>apt-cdrom</command> takes care of
determining the structure of
the disc as well as correcting for several possible mis-burns and
verifying the index files.
</para>
<para>It is necessary to use <command>apt-cdrom</command> to add CDs to the
APT system;
it cannot be done by hand. Furthermore each disc in a multi-CD set must be
inserted and scanned separately to account for possible mis-burns.
</para>
<para>Unless the <option>-h</option>, or <option>--help</option> option is
given, one of the commands below must be present.</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry><term><option>add</option></term>
<listitem><para><literal>add</literal> is used to add a new disc to the
source list. It will unmount the
CD-ROM device, prompt for a disc to be inserted and then proceed to
scan it and copy the index files. If the disc does not have a proper
<filename>.disk</filename> directory you will be prompted for a descriptive
title.
</para>
<para>APT uses a CD-ROM ID to track which disc is currently in the drive and
maintains a database of these IDs in
