Installing from Kubuntu Disk

[phannon at zol.co.zw]

Click Add/Remove packages. Click advanced.
Click Edit and choose Add cdrom.
To me its as easy as that - now this very much wiser idiot will RTFM.
BTW it also worked with the edubuntu cd, so presumably it works with other 
cds as well.
I doubt whether I would have found this without your reply - so thanks to 
you for your help.
