Hello Doug, Assuming the standard Debian mount point of /cdrom for the cdrom drive, the following command should work. 'cp -a /cdrom/* ~/' (cp is the copy command. -a tells it to use the 'archive' options, meaning copy all subdirectories and maintain file permissions. /cdrom/* is where to copy from, and ~/ tells it to copy the files to your home directory.)
