what is correct commenting for Base OS installing updates offline with mounted live iso cd/dvd

 # Package repositories

Mount the ISO image under a directory (eg, /cdrom) and use

deb file:/cdrom chimaera main

Alternatively run

# apt-cdrom add

Then insert the CD/DVD.

Apt looks for the cdrom at /media/cdrom, so for the non-live ISO I did:

mount -o loop,ro -t iso9660 /mnt/devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_amd64_desktop.iso /media/cdrom

(If necessary, do mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt or equivalent first, or copy the ISO to the local disk and update the path.)

Then, given an /etc/apt/sources.list which already contained...

deb cdrom:[Devuan GNU/Linux 4.0 chimaera amd64 - desktop 20211012]/ chimaera contrib main nonfree

...I removed contrib and nonfree, and needed to set allow-insecure=yes like so:

deb [ allow-insecure=yes ] cdrom:[Devuan GNU/Linux 4.0 chimaera amd64 - desktop 20211012]/ chimaera main

(In addition to the ISO filename, I assume the live ISO has a different cdrom label also.)

mount -o loop,ro -t iso9660 /mnt/devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_amd64_desktop.iso /media/cdrom

deb file:/cdrom chimaera main
added to config file.

sudo aptupdate

no lines in live or base os sources.list have deb cdrom lines commented or uncommented.

Mine did.

Maybe it got added by apt-cdrom add - I don't think I ran that, but can't say for certain.

If you've mounted the ISO under /media/cdrom then you should put the same directory in sources.list. Surely that's obvious, even with a language barrier?

EDIT: and why are you combining the differing advice from two respondents? That's even weirder.
