In Debian based linux(deb package management system) Linux "/etc/apt/sources.list" is the file which tells your linux box where the repository. Regardless of the new packages installation mode (whether via terminal with apt-get command or with synaptic package manager) this file is referenced to fetch the needed .deb files. For this method you need to have a good internet connection.
If you have installation CD/DVD you can add this to the source.list file and use that as your repository(only to install the packages available in the CD/DVD). how to do that?
[What apt tool actually needs is a catalog file to use (packages.gz) and the original .deb packages. As the installation CD/DVD contains it we can use the same as like online repo.]
1. Insert your CD/DVD into the drive and ensure it is mounted properly
2. Go to terminal by
Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Steps for BOSS GNU/Linux)
3. Type the following command
$sudo apt-cdrom add
This command will add the cdrom entry into the /etc/apt/sources.list.
4. Now update your apt file with the following command
$sudo apt-get update
5. Install the packages you need by
$sudo apt-get install
