not sure i understand what you're asking. do you just want to copy
the files from a mounted CD to your home directory? if so, do:
cp /cdrom/file_to_copy /home/user/location/to/copy/to
-- that is, if you've mounted the cd at /cdrom (which i do). could be
/mnt/cdrom, or something like that, too.
hth,
