What if you are unable to do this? or tired of running from room to room? there is a little change to do to save the labor.
Just comment out the line referring cdrom in /etc/apt/sources.list. In my system this is the line you need to be commented out.
deb cdrom:[Ubuntu-Server 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release i386 (20071016)]/ gutsy main restricted
There is a complete doc on the apt-* commands in

If you're running a graphical interface, you can also go to System>Administration>Software Sources, you'll be prompted for your password, and when the software source window come up, the first tab, "Ubuntu Software", look in the box called, "Installable from CD-ROM/DVD" and uncheck the box for using the CD-ROM.
Thanks for the info, Danny. I am running a server component and I am always using the command line since most of the time I am away from the machine using vanilla SSH to login.
I've set up a command line only server myself now. I need to learn it. I've started with a file server. I have a lot to learn. I have it set up, Samba installed, and our desktops can see it, but can't do anything with it yet.
