I'm finding my way slowly with Ubuntu Server, now I have a minor
problem with apt-get. It wants me to put the Ubuntu Server CD into the machine which,since it's in the garage, is a bit of a pain.
Can I force it *not* to use the CD but to always got to the internet to
download packages I want to install? If so, how?
I had this problem and put the ISO onto the machine and told it to use the ISO via (IIRC) the command line option on apt-get.
