You can remove the CD from the software sources via
System->Administration->Software Sources
You can remove the CD from there.

Probably it is easier for you to install g++ via Synaptic
System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager

Thanks a lot for the answers,
however, I am not connected to the internet

I tried the Synaptic Package and it still needs me to
insert the cd...

Try to get network working on Linux. Your other option is to download
the g++ and dependent packages from Windows and then install them one
after each other.

Can you help with this problem?
