Fedora Package Manager Help
 
Hello,

I have all the Fedora cd's in iso format on my hard drive. I recently tried to install some applications, but it asked me for the cd's. Is there a way for me to configure it so that it knows where to iso's are? If not, I guess perhaps I could mount the iso's to an empty cd rom? Not sure if that will work but I am going to try it.

Thanks!

There probably is, but I don't (wanna) know how. To mount the ISO: "mount -o loop -t iso9660 fc4something.iso /mnt/cdrom".

Ok, that is an easy solution. Thank you.

You maybe better of using yum to manage your packages because it can get newer packages from the net. System-config-packages doesn't always work right and if you upgrade any packages on your system it may not install the ones from your discs.
