You could either use the CD as the apt-repository or get the packages
straight from the net.
To use the CD, issue apt-cdrom add, then apt-get dist-upgrade.
To use repositories from the net, just add the appropriate lines to
/etc/apt/sources.list for the debian mirror you want to connect to,
eg.
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free
then apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade
