On Fedora, you can run the package manager from the command line, which makes available two command-line options for pointing it to the hard drive instead of the CD/DVD drive. One was --isodir; I don't recall the other one offhand. You'd run it as system-config-packages --isodir /path/to/iso/images where the ISO image(s) are in /path/to/iso/images/*.iso The second option you'd point to the i386 directory within the CD/DVD file system. It was probably something like --tree or --packagedir -- John Abreau IT Manager Zuken USA 238 Littleton Rd., Suite 100 Westford, MA 01886 T: 978-392-1777 F: 978-692-4725 M: 978-764-8934 E: John.Abreau at zuken.com W: www.zuken.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
