What is in your /etc/apt/sources.list file? Mine is below. I am 
guesssing you either have apt configured to check your CD-ROM, or you 
are running apt-cdrom instead of apt-get.

If you change your /etc/apt/sources.list file, you must then run 
"apt-get update" (or "aptitude update"; some people prefer aptitude over 
apt-get) before "apt-get install $PACKAGE".
