I have installed Ubuntu 8.04 Server edition

I did mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom

I could find all the packages in /mnt/cdrom/pool/main/

How can i install it from the CD, I dont have GUI on this host.

What is "it"?

Do you want to add the CD to the list of packet repositories?
If so, you should check if the CD is not already listed there
(/etc/apt/sources.list), which is very likely if you installed from this
CD. If an entry for the CD is missing, use apt-cdrom to create one.
man apt-cdrom

Do you simply want to install software using the command line?
If so, use apt-get or aptitude
man apt-get
man aptitude
