Sign up ×  I am trying to install Debian kernel sources using
the following commands -   It prompts me to insert the Debian
disk to continue the installation.  Why is this so? I have used
other Linux Distros and the default behavior seems to be to
install from an internet repository.  How should I change the
default repository location? i.e. configure online repo for
Debian and offline one for Ubuntu?  share|improve this question
Check /etc/apt/sources.list and change the entries to point to
some mirror. (See also man 5 sources.list) –  sr_ Jun 4 '12 at
11:10 @sr_ You mean I need to configure the mirrors manually?
But with yum install kernel-devel one doesn't need to do it.
What is the difference here? –  Kshitiz Sharma Jun 4 '12 at
11:56 @sr_ Alternatively is it possible to use yum as a package
manager with Debian? –  Kshitiz Sharma Jun 4 '12 at 11:56 @sr_
Perhaps you should've put in your suggestions as an answer so
that I could select it. Or do you think you have too many points
already? :-) –  Kshitiz Sha
