I am glad it was so easy. :) BTW, there's the command 'apt-cdrom' which
you can use to add a CD-ROM or DVD to your sources.list. This should
work better than doing it manually. In fact, 'man apt-cdrom' says you
cannot do it manually at all and always have to use apt-cdrom.
You might want to take a look at the Debian Reference to get an overview
of Debian-related tools and concepts:
