Yes. You have to change your sources.list, which I believe is in /etc/
apt/
Of course, given that it's Ubuntu, there's probably a "reconfigure
your sources" tool.
Right now, you probably have cd://something as part of your
sources.list. Just comment that part out, and you should be set, as
long as you have some other source to get packages from.
Hope this helps.
