If I understand you correctly one of the following two commands should work.

Code:

sudo apt-get install screen
su -c "apt-get install screen"

The first one needs your password, the second one needs root password.

Hm. Your system is configured to use DVD as the default package source. I guess you should edit your /etc/apt/sources.list as root.

Code:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free

should be added. Mentions of cdrom should be removed. Afterwards run

Code:

apt-get update

As this question was Debian-specific, but not necessarily 'server' specific, I have moved it to the Debian forum.
