Installing packages?

When I place the packages on the cd, do I have to burn it a particular way? When I used apt-cdrom, it said there were no packages on the cd.
 
It is probably expecting the folder structure of an install CD. But that is just a guess. Try googling for "apt-cdrom"?
 
is this box not connected to the web? If it is, then why get packages from the cdrom?

I believe you can also use dpkg directly to install the packages.
 
If the CD isn't a real Debian CD it's probably not setup to be used as an apt source, if that's true you'll have to use dpkg directly to install the packages.
 
You mean once it's installed? On Debian most things add a menu entry to the various WM's menus. Most of the time the command to run the package is the same as the package though, so if there's no menu entry you could just try that.

How do I check the syslog?
Click to expand...

The syslog process?
ps auxww | grep syslogd

The log files it writes to?
Use more, less, head, cat, or tail depending on what you want to do with the file:
tail /var/log/messages

messages is just one of the log files on a system. Most others should also be in /var/log.
