First, mount the cd
Then add the line:
deb file:/cdrom/debian stable main
(assuming you have the cd mounted under /cdrom and it is the stable/main cd)
Anyway, add the line to /etc/apt/sources.list, and comment out all others.
Third, you can use dselect's apt method as usual, or use apt-get from the
command line.
