Hi Ken,
Your apt-get sources should be defined in /etc/apt/sources.list
since your initial install is done you will most likely want to remove the
cd-rom sources and change them to web-based updates from more current
online repositories, here is a common sources.list for breezy which you
should be able to drop in and apt-get update/upgrade/install successfully
using.
Cheers,
-Tim
