If you're already to that point, don't bother booting from the CD.
Put in a CD, Open the Software Manager, and type /dev/CDROM in the field
at the top.  Then click "Lookup".  Click "customize installation".  Select
"Open Additional Distribution" from the file menu, click "Eject CD",
insert the next one, highlight the "/dev/CDROM" entry in the list, and
click "Add".  Repeat until you've given it all the CDs.  Now you can add
any software you have to a running system without disturbing your existing
installation.
