adding packages

samseed · 09-24-2005, 01:42 PM

I'm running Fedora Core 4 and I have been trying to add some packages to it, however after selecting which ones I'd like to add I get a dialog saying - '" Fedora Core 4" disk 2 needed to install packages Insert the disk and press OK.' So I do, however when I hit ok I get a dialog with this - 'Unable to access disk. The disk was unable to be accessed for reading. Please confirm that it is in the drive and try again.'

I can browse cd2 manually and copy stuff from it, so I know it's readable. Any suggestions?

If you know the names of the packages you want, you should install packages from the updated repositories using Yum, instead of the old packages from the CD.

ok thanks - i'll try it. still would like to know why I'm getting an unreadable cd dialog though...

FYI - I used yum to update all of my installed packages and now that cd drive problem I was having is gone!
