 The currently recognized [URI] types are cdrom, file, http, and ftp. 
  
 ; __file__ : The file scheme allows an arbitrary directory in the file system to be considered an archive. This is useful for NFS mounts and local mirrors or archives. 
-; __cdrom__ : The cdrom scheme allows APT to use a local CDROM drive with media swapping. Use the apt-cdrom(8) program to create cdrom entries in the  
- source list.  
-; __http__ : The http scheme specifies an HTTP server for the archive. If an environment variable __http_proxy__ is set with the format  
- http://server:port/, the proxy server specified in __http_proxy__ will be used. Users of authenticated HTTP/1.1 proxies may use a  
- string of the format http://user:pass@server:port/ Note that this is an insecure method of authentication.  
-; __ftp__ : The ftp scheme specifies an FTP server for the archive. APT's FTP behavior is highly configurable; for more information see the  
- ''apt.conf''(5) manual page. Please note that a ftp proxy can be specified by using the __ftp_proxy__ environment variable. It is  
- possible to specify a http proxy (http proxy servers often understand ftp urls) using this method and ONLY this method. ftp proxies  
- using http specified in the configuration file will be ignored.  
-; __copy__ : The copy scheme is identical to the file scheme except that packages are copied into the cache directory instead of used directly at  
- their location. This is useful for people using a zip disk to copy files around with APT.  
-; __rsh__, __ssh__: The rsh/ssh method method invokes rsh/ssh to connect to a remote host as a given user and access the files. No password authentication  
- is possible, prior arrangements with RSA keys or rhosts must have been made. Access to files on the remote uses standard __find__ and
