If you plan on installing stuff from just the dvd, you should disable all the internet repos and leave only the dvd source enabled. That way, you'll only see packages that are available on the dvd when you go into the software manager.
But be aware that if you do give priority to a DVD or CD package repository, you'll often _have_ to have the DVD or CD mounted to successfully complete an install even if the packages come from other sources (the 'Net, e.g.). Dependencies on packages from the original / base system repositories can exist and if they were not installed already, you'll get an error when you confirm and initiate the installation (but it's a recoverable error, assuming you can find and mount the DVD or CD required at that time).
