Installing deb packages from Ubuntu Server CD

Hi, I have mounted the Ubuntu server edition 10.10 ISO on my server under a directory media/servercd. I would like to install some services from this. I edited the sources.list file to say:

Code:
deb file:/media/servercd maverick main restricted

and it's properly mounted but when I try apt-get install I get an error saying "unable to locate package" so what could be the problem?

I'm pretty sure everything is set correctly.
