I'm unable to install software on new installation

I´ve just installed Xubuntu Edgy Eft on to an ibook G3. The installation went without hitch but I am unable to install packages on to it through Synaptic or Add/Remove. When I click install I get this message:

Quote:

Please insert the disc labelled:
Xubuntu 6.10 _Edgy Eft_ - Release powerpc (20061025.1)
in drive /cdrom/

The packages I have managed to install won´t open through the applications menu.

Thanks

Have you set up the remote respiratories in Synaptic? Did you put the CD in the drive it asked for? Will the applications not install from the CD?

You will have to edit the menu in xubuntu to add the applications you install. I have xubuntu on an old laptop, and there doesn't seem to be any script to add the icons in the menu.
