You first need to mount it. If you have supermount working this is just a matter of clicking on the CDROM icon that's probably on your desktop. If not, or if this desn't work:
1. start a console 2. become root 3. type "mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom" 4. now the files on your cd are on /mnt/cdrom You can now use tar to decompress them as you would off a hard drive. The supermount problem means that some of the above may not work. /dev/cdrom may not exist etc. etc. Best thing is to try first and ask again if something seems broken.
