Once the CD is ready, put it in the drive, type
#apt-cdrom add
which will update /etc/sources.list with your CD as a source.
And also edit /etc/sources.list to make sure there aren't other sources
like ftp.debian.org. Just comment those lines.
Now, you can do '#apt-get install <whatever>' to install
whatever packages you want. They'd be installed from the CD. It's that
easy. :)
