Mounted ISO image... but RHEL still asks for CD?
 

so I was able to mount successfully - like so...
mount -t iso9660 image.iso /mnt/whatever -o loop

but when i go into Add/Remove Application.. it still asks for RHEL CDs to install certain components.. is there a way around this? Thanks!

export SETUP_CDROM=/mnt/mycrap

That will make your ENV think your CD is now in that device/directory.

what he said

thanks! :D btw.. is there a startup file i can edit so it launches that every time my computer starts?

Add the line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local or /etc/rc.d/boot.local in other distro's.

hmm i tried

export SETUP_CDROM=/mnt/mycrap

and when i tried to install an RPM package.. it says:

Unable to access disk

The disk was unable to be accessed for reading. Please confirmt that it is in the drive and try again.


when i just type export alone.. it says
"declare -x SETUP_CDROM="/rheliso/rhel2"

along with tons of other lines...


how come it's not working? :(

anybody w/ the same problem? :(
