Debian package updating reminder please

[Georgina Joyce]

Hi

Could someone just remind me of the command line commands for telling Debian
read the packages available on the CDs?  As well as, the command line to
install particular packages?  Is there a standard set of packages to install
on a new installation?

Cheers.
