packages installation from cd help

i am using mandrake 10.0.

i need to know how to install the packages from cd.

install from the graphical intraface is okay...

i want to know how to mount the iso cd so that i can view the packages in the cd.
and just install from the cd.

thanks.

To mount an ISO read this http://madpenguin.org/cms/?m=show&id=451

To install directly from the CD/ISO, once mounted navigate to wherever the rpm's are on the CD/ISO (sorry I can't remember exactly where they are on Mandrake, but they'll probably be in a folder called RPM) select the rpm you want, I think you can just double click it, if not, right click and there should be something like software installer or something like in the menu.

That should be all you need to do. But why would you want to install direcly from the CD? Why not use rpmdrake from the GUI?

thank u but one question .
i need to install by a CUI.

INSTALL FROM COMMAND MODE. I MEAN FROM TERMINAL.

easier way is simply (if you have an idea of what you are after):

Code:

[don@don /]$ su

Password:

[root@don /]# urpmi xmms

Everything already installed

[root@don /]#
