You said you had a .tar file on CD. As far as I know...you cannot install
from a .tar file. You'll most likely need to untar it to a directory on your
Linux box.

To mount it...as root (unless you gave users permission to mount the CD or
you don't have automount running).

mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

Something like the above should work....
