I've Manage to backup my packeges on DVD, but when I try to restore them, the program
wont read the DVD. TheDVD shows up on the desktop, and if you click on it it will show the files/folders
on the disc.
Here's the error(s) I get:
E: Unable to stat the mount point /media/cdrom/ - stat (2: No such file or directory)
E: Unable to stat the mount point /media/cdrom/ - stat (2: No such file or directory)
E: Failed to mount the cdrom.
Here' what the terminal says:
raceback (most recent call last):

I Haven' the slightest idea what the above means.

1- Create a archives directory on /home/your_user_name
2- Copy all your packages to archives directory (created by you)
3 Open a terminal:
Wait; close and update.
Your packages will be in /var/cache/apt/archives, where apt download and read Linuxmint packages.

3 Open a terminal:
Code: Select all
sudo su
cd /var/cache/apt
rm -r archives
cd /home/your_user_name
mv archives /var/cache/apt
Your packages will be in /var/cache/apt/archives, where apt download and read Linuxmint packages.
