Run 'apt-cdrom add', if you haven't already, to add the CDs to the
package database. Then you have a number of options for package
management:
* dselect. Traditional full-screen interface with some quirks, loved
or hated depending on whom you ask.
* 'apt-get install <packagename>'. Good for simple tasks, although it
doesn't tell you about all the package relationships you might want
to know about.
* aptitude (much better in woody than in potato, I'm told). Apparently
as good as dselect with better user interface design, but I haven't
tried it yet.

'apt-cache search kernel-source' will show you a number of packages you
can install. It's not there by default.
