Hi list members,
I have successfully installed stretch from a usb stick onto which I had
downloaded the latest amd64 weekly-build DVD-1.iso and other necessary
init files.
Well, after the install process had finished, I rebooted from harddisk and
everything worked, but when I now try to use apt to install more files
FROM THE DVD.iso on the stick (not over the network), it tells me to
insert the cdrom:[DEBIAN_TESTING...DVD-iso-1], even when the USB
stick is already inserted in the slot - no, apt wants a cdrom (and that's
what the source.list indicates: cdrom.
It's an iso-hybrid as you know, but I can't find a way to tell apt to use
this very same USB stick (with the named ISO) from which the installing
process had been carried out.
When I put different forms of identifying the USB stick into the
sources.list apt says something like "there is no driver for that device
installed" or "there is no release file" (when I put
file://var/lib/apt/lists directory) and does not proceed. But the
installer correctly used this USB stick. I can't figure out how to work
around that, or what's going wrong. Do you have an idea?
I read the install.txt from beginning to end, but I couldn't find any
hints on this issue.
Thanks in advance.

There is a tool called apt-cdrom, but it didn't work the way I wanted.

The OP has DVD-1 on a USB stick. We will work with that.

First adjust sources.list to only have
deb [ trusted=yes ] file:/media/DVD-1/ jessie main
'trusted=yes' avoids being warned that a package cannot be authenticated.
You do trust the ISO you downloaded, don't you?
Make the DVD-1 directory:
mkdir /media/DVD-1/
and insert the USB stick. Obtain the device name from dmesg or lsblk.
Then (for example)
mount /dev/sdg1 /media/DVD-1/
It is now a matter of 'apt-get update' and 'apt-get install'.
How about giving this a quick whirl and a report to add to other users'
future references?

I wonder why the USB stick after the installation and the reboot wasn't
recognized automatically as an apt source. He had been there during
installation. There are two similar lines in apt source (referring to the
DVD.iso) being the only difference that one ends with "contrib main" the
other one with "main contrib". These lines were added by the installer
during installation.
I will keep you-up-to date about my attempts. I hope I'll have it resolved

You may be able to loop mount the USB stick as a DVD image at which point you can pick up files from inside the DVD
or mount it as a source to apt-get update from.
I've got one next door that I prepared earlier - I may give it a go to see what can be done :)
All the best,

So, what's really astonishing is the fact that I'm logged in as root and
"could not get lock".
So, I guess that it is apt that's lacking necessary privileges here, but
it's just a guess.
I'll keep on trying...,now, again the loop mount I tried earlier as Alex
told me, but unfortunately it didn't work. Maybe I have made a mistake.
Thanks Andyc, and thanks to all of you, curty, Brian, Chris, Alex and

I have made an all-in-one mail to the list as I'm not subscribed (Chris
let me know in PM that there are messages sent to the list only, thanks,

This works with a Jessie DVD-1. The Stretch DVD has the same structure.

ls -l /media/cdrom/debian-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso/dists/stretch/main/binary-amd64/
should show Packages.gz.
Comment out the sources.list entry and do 'apt-get update'; lock and
/partial should now be the only files in /var/lib/apt/lists. /partial
should be empty. Also do 'apt-get clean'.
Now revert the commenting out and proceed with 'apt-get update'.

Strange, is that the same on your Jessie DVD? I downloaded it from what
turned out to be a secondary mirror and I saved the download details.
Maybe I made a mistake in which directory I downloaded it...
I tried to adjust the sources.list but at the moment it hasn't worked.
Thanks

proposed, but in my case it did not work. :-( Remember that I have a USB

It appears you have used the less common hard disk method of booting
with a separate kernel and initrd. The isohybrid nature of the ISO is
immaterial in this case.
If you stay with the present stick mount the partition the ISO is on:
mount /dev/sdXn /media/cdrom
Access the contents of the ISO by mounting it with
mount /media/cdrom/debian-testing-amd64-DVD-1.iso /mnt
In sources.list have
