I know that it's not as simple as using the apt command. You might be able to do it with a kernel loop, but I've never used that installation method so don't know how well or easily it works.
Search google and the forums for "loop mount install" and I think you'll get some hints on how to go about it.oz

hi
you need use losetup to bound iso image to a loop device, and than you can mount it. Finaly you create a symlink to the loop device on cdrom name . nov yu can use your dvd image
losetup /dev/loop0 /path/to/image
mount /dev/loop0 /mountpoint
apt-cdrom add -d mountpoint
aptitude update
now you can install anything
