how to mount DVDs into ubuntu 14.04

you can use the mount command. also it might help to run df -h which might list the device

Is it a data DVD or a movie?

apt-cdrom is used to add a cD or DVD as a package source, does the disk have packagess on?

What is the output of:

sudo lshw -C disk; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

Dear Mr peter
At the outset i apologize for not furnishing all relevant details earlier.
I would point out the clarifications below :

1) I have got 15 Nos. of DVDs which contain Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr)
amd64 Repository package. I presume this is a data package only

2) I assume this DVD has packages on

The out put of sudo lshw -C disk; lsb_release -a; uname -a is ;

Why do you want to mount the install DVD when you have it installed and have web access? You can just install packages from the repositories online, meaning you don't need to mount anything.....

What are you trying to achieve?

Hi Peter
One Ubuntu gave me these DVDs and asked to install all the data that
contains into the system so that the OS works correctly. From your response
I understand that I am not required to install these packages into the
system. Hope I am correct. Please let me know.
with thanks and regards
