apt-get w/o CD/DVD?

I have a system I've recently switched from Mandrake 9 to  7.04 via clean install.. This is a remote system that I'm trying to configure via ssh and webmin. The system was pretty much set up as needed during the original installation, but now I'm finding I need additional tools such as subversion,  so via ssh I did an quot;sudo apt-get install subversionquot; and I get prompted to insert the CD?? The system has an internet connection, and I don't recall being prompted to insert the CD when installing some other stuff a few days ago.. The problem is the system is 70 miles away, and already has a CDRW disk that is needed for backup, in the only CD drive. Is there a way to configure the /etc/apt/sources.list to get everything from repos rather than this??

yes this is possible, as you menioned, just remove the lines where cdrom is in
do an apt-get update again, and there you are, no more asking for cdroms

Thank you...
