I did as you said, literally (commented out just the two proxy lines),
and it may have gone better. This time I piped the output, so know I
captured the entire file. It starts with a lot of this:
Err cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r1 _Woody_ - Official i386
Binary-7 (20021218)] unstable/contrib Packages
Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD recognized by APT.
apt-get update cannot be used to add new CDs
Ign cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r1 _Woody_ - Official i386
Binary-7 (20021218)] unstable/contrib Release
I get this for all severel installation disks. Is this because the
disks are listed in my /etc/apt/apt.conf file? If so, should the cdrom
lines be removed from there; or should I just ignore all these error
messages?
Finnally, I get to what I hope is what I am supposed to see:
Hit http://ftp.br.debian.org woody/main Packages
Hit http://ftp.br.debian.org woody/main Release
Hit http://ftp.br.debian.org woody/contrib Packages

Reading Package Lists...

"Hit" is a nice word. I hope it is what I should expect.
But it failed the test. I wanted to install sudo, which is not on my
distribution cdroms, and so ran:
# aptitude install sudo
All I get is a lot of warnings that it can't find the file on the
cdrom disks. No sign that it tried any web respositories. It is
reading the cdrom section of my /etc/apt/sources.list, but not its
deb-src http... entries.
