I've noticed sometimes when I do apt-get Debian asks me to insert [the installation cd I used] (6.0.6 amd64 dvd1). Sometimes it doesn't, although maybe it's because I've already mounted it earlier; I can't notice a definite pattern. Why is this? Does this happen with other flavors too? And I've searched for stuff like "virtualbox apt-get installation cd" with no luck (can't find a good query).

7If you don't want for apt to search for the CD, comment it in /etc/apt/sources.list– schaibaJan 27, 2013 at 21:37

Ah course... seems so obvious in hindsight, but just learning linux and repositories and stuff. Thanks! If you answer, I'll mark it right after I double check with a package– RaekyeJan 27, 2013 at 21:47

1Can you also remove the references to Virtualbox? Pretty sure it's just a Debian thing, having nothing to do with that...– Aaron D. MarascoJan 27, 2013 at 22:01

A local CD can act as an APT repo, just as if it were a distant server.
If you don't want apt-get to search the CD, comment out the relevant line in /etc/apt/sources.list which looks something like this:
deb cdrom:[deb95amd64d1]/ stretch contrib main
To comment out the line, simply prefix it with a hash/pound symbol #.
