[tex-live] install a package called powerdot

[J M Smith]

Dear Tex-Live:
    I wanted to install a package called powerdot from ctan which is bundled
with the tex-live disc 2005.
I place the dvd in the drive went to the program tex-live and clicked on
maintenance to install a package through tex-live. I asked to install the
package from the dvd and had tex-live search on the dvd for the directories:
        ctan/macros/latex/contrib/powerdot/
then asked it to install the package and the program crashes (numerous
times). Perhaps I don't know which directory to include?
    I know that I am doing something wrong but cannot figure out what is
wrong. Anyone to help?

Regards,
Jim
