WTF, Ubuntu?

Hey, so, Ubuntu, what gives?

I’m running a “sudo apt-get install fobar-package-version” and I get messages like this one:

Media change: please insert the disc labeled
‘Ubuntu-Server 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbon_ - Release amd64 (20071016)’
in the drive ‘/cdrom/’ and press enter

What gives? If I put that disc in the drive (the install CD) then when my machine reboots, it’ll boot to that disk, which isn’t what I want. How about you please just get whatever you need from the internet? Oh, and by the way, I have a copy of the .iso image on my harddrive if you really really need something thats in there. How about I just point you at that? Would that be ok? Thanks!

Update: Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the entry for the cdrom, or make it point at the ISO image file to solve this issue.
