If you are going to use dselect, you do not want to mount the cd-rom
before. When you get the the update prompt, hit a carriage return and
dselect will read the necessary information from the cd-rom to establish a
database of available packages. Then go to select (usually there will be
a number of packages already selected). You can select additional ones
now or do it later.
Hit a carriage return after you are through selecting and the prompt will
go to Install. Running this will actually read the packages from the
cd-rom and install them into your system.
