.TH APT-SETUP 8
.SH NAME
apt-setup \- add apt download sources
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B apt-setup [probe] [-N]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.BR apt-setup
is an interactive program that simplifies adding sources to apt's
sources.list. It knows about all the major debian mirrors and can help you
select one. It can even use 
.BR apt-cdrom (8)
to scan CDs.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.I "probe"
By default no probing of CDs is done. Passing "probe" as the first argument
to this program will make it probe for a CD in the drive on startup and add
it to sources.list. This is useful on initial debian installs, to minimize
interaction with the user.
.TP
.I "-N"
This parameter allows apt-setup to run in noninteractive mode if its
debconf questions have been preseeded.
