RE: putting cdrom into sources.list
Try
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 r3 _Potato_ - Offical i386 Binary-1
(20010427)$
That is the line in my sources.list but of courses yours might differ
depending on what version of Debian you have installed.

man sources.list is your friend:
cdrom The cdrom scheme allows APT to use a local CDROM
drive with media swapping. Use the apt-cdrom(8)
program to create cdrom entires in the source list.
