i had a little red triangle on the top right of my screen indicating i have some updates. so i opened up systems-admin-update manager, but got an error message saying another program like synaps or something was opened...so today i restarted my netbook and then tried again, this time i got the following message:



CD/DVD 'Ubuntu 10.10 _Maverick Meerkat_ - Release i386 (20101007)' is required. Please insert the above CD/DVD into the drive '/cdrom/' to install software packages from it.

doesn't anyone know what this means, and am i able to work around it since i don't have a CD drive?


netbook: Asus Eee PC 1215T
OS: ubuntu desktop version 10.10 (maverick) Kernel Linux 2.6.35-generic Gnome 2.32.0
