Run 'apt-cdrom add', if you haven't already, to add the CDs to the package database. Then you have a number of options for package management: * dselect. Traditional full-screen interface with some quirks, loved or hated depending on whom you ask. * 'apt-get install packagename'. Good for simple tasks, although it doesn't tell you about all the package relationships you might want to know about. * aptitude (much better in woody than in potato, I'm told). Apparently as good as dselect with better user interface design, but I haven't tried it yet. Does kernel source comes with the default installation? Why can't I see the source in /usr/src? 'apt-cache search kernel-source' will show you a number of packages you can install. It's not there by default.
