How do I get dselect to see the packages in the cdrom images?

Try adding them to you're sources.list with apt-cdrom.

Ok, I have done this for each cd with:

apt-cdrom add -d <iso mount point>

Everything in /etc/apt/sources.list seemed fine.
So I tried to do the install:

apt-get update
apt-get install <pagage>

Now apt asks for the cd to be inserted in /cdrom/ (remeber I am using mounted cd images, not burned discs) and there's nothing I can do but press return.

I don't have a cd burner, so how can I get apt-get install to see the iso images as install sources without burning the images to discs?
