Adding optional components to Fedora Core 5 from CD-Rom or CD-Images
Hi, I Have Just Installed Fedora Core 5 And Everything Went Fine. The Problem Is That I Did Not Choose Some Packages From The Cd-roms When Installing Which I Now Need. I Was Wondering If The Was Any Graphical Installer Which Shows The Packages Installed And Those Not Installed And Letting Me Install Them From The Installation Cds Or Those Cds Images?
The Package Manager That I Tried Seems To Be Getting The Packages From The Internet Is There A Way To Tell It To Get It From The Cd-rom?
I haven't used FC5 before, but if nothing else works, one thing that you could do is to insert each installation CD and look at the RPM files in the Fedora/RPMs/ directory. When you find one you want, open it, and GNOME should install it by default.
This is not "graphical," but if you go to your Fedora/RPMS directory and run "yum localinstall *.rpm" as root, then it will show you the list of packages you can install (i.e. the ones you have not installed yet).
Thanks daihard and burntfuse! I used the option given by daihard and it worked! But if i could get a graphical interface where i could get a description of each file and then install them it would be great!

Glad it worked for you. I looked around, but as far as I can see, none of the GUI frontends to yum (i.e. yumex, kyum, pup and piru) have that capability...
