SUSE 10

Hi.

I'm trying to add some packages to my existing SUSE 10 installation. I have all 5 SUSE 10 CDs as .iso images.
I've tried mounting the appopriate isos using the command:

mount -oloop /'path'/'image-name' /tmp

When I try to add this to Installation Source in YaST is says that no product can be found at this location.

So, instead of burning the isos I would like to be able to mount them and then add packages to my installation.

How can I do this?

Thanks.

Richard

What I have been doing to update the distro without bruning the cds is mounting each CD, then copying all files to one directory. Add that directory as an installation source, then run system update of install software from yast. I think the yast repository files are only on the first CD, so If you you can only dd it as a source- but if you copy all files to one directory you can access software on all five cds
