Become root; then use dselect. Take time to read the help screens -
the interface is not intuitive.

You can mount your CD thus: `mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /cdrom'
(/cdrom must already exist; if it doesn't: `mkdir /cdrom')
The CD's contents are visible under /cdrom.
You do not need to mount the CD to use it with dselect; choose the CD
installation method and dselect will mount it for itself.
