How to install packages from Arch CD?

Ok, I know I'm brain-dead this evening, because I know I've found threads in the forum or info on the wiki to do this, but for the life of me I cannot find anything tonight.  I've never gotten it to work, but because I always had network access I didn't worry about it.

Until I can get pacman to work over the network, I'd like to install packages from the CD.  I don't know how to do that, and can't find the information. :oops:

Thanks for any guidance.

pacman -A /path/to/packages.pkg.tar.gz ?

pacman -U should work too, removes if it already exists and installs.

It should be something like

[local]
Server = file:///path/to/packages
