cdrom


I'm trying to install some rpms and it says due to following dependences such and such must be installed. Then it says put cdrom 1 in so I did. It seems to not detect it because the tray opens again and the same message of please insert cdrom 1 appears again. I'm running mandrake 9.1 and I don't know what to do.

It is possible that the RPMs are not on CD1, try the other CDs.

Instead of using RpmDrake, you can try installing them using the command line.
First by using the mount command to mount the CD-ROM and rpm to install the RPMs.
