Can't add programs


I recently installed Fedora 6 64 bit
I need to add programs to get my modem working
I lack certain utilities to install the modem software
When I click on Add programs, I get a message saying it can't find the resources
My resources are CD's not the internet and It is trying to look at the internet which is unavailable because I have no functioning modem (or any other link).
When I click on ok, the add/remove software window closes.

Ok! how do I tell Fedora 6 64 bit to install software from the CD's

You cannot use yum without internet.

Via command line, change directory to the CD as such:

cd /media/FCxxxx/Fedora/RPMS

Replace xxxx with what is appropriate.
Install packages needed with rpm command as such:

rpm -ivh package name

What type of modem, if it is a pci internal modem, only Lucent Win modem can be installed on 64 bit Linux.
