Well, normaly you just need to type »mount /cdrom« oder »mount /mnt/cdrom« and you can access to content of your CD in the directory /cdrom or /mnt/cdrom. If that fails, it would be usefull if you could gave us some more information, e.g. the output of »grep -i cd /etc/fstab«, »ll /dev/cdrom*«, »dmesg|grep -i cd« and if you knew, where your CD-ROM drive is attached, it would be nice to know, too. If it works, and your CD contains normal Debian packages you should be able to install them with »dpkg -i <filename>«. If you mean other software packages, there is no general rule how to install them, but in most cases, ther in an installation document. Yours sincerely, Alexander
