Soon I found that sudo package was not installed and I ran a command to install it. It asked me to install the DVD. This way I installed sudo package. I expected it to use the Internet though.
Second time I tried to install vim. And again it asked me for a DVD. This time it didn’t work.
Here is what my etc/apt/sources.list looks like:

Package vim is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'vim' has no installation candidate
I was just trying to avoid the next question about why some package won't install.
