Hi:

Assuming /etc/apt/sources.list is configured the way you want it, all you
have to do is:

apt-get update

to refresh the package list.  For CD's, apt should prompt you for each CD
if necessary.  To install a package or packages, type:

apt-get install packagename1 packagename2 ...

Note that packagename doesn't include the version number (e.g. bsdgames,
not bsdgames-2.9-3).

Geoff.
