Here is the work around I am using. Log in as root. I copied the ISO images from another linux box via my LAN to the new fedora box. I created these directories on root. /iso /iso/rpm /cd1 /cd2 /cd3 I placed the ISO images in /iso. I mounted the images with these commands: mount -o loop -t iso9660 /iso/yarrow-i386-disc1.iso /cd1 mount -o loop -t iso9660 /iso/yarrow-i386-disc2.iso /cd2 mount -o loop -t iso9660 /iso/yarrow-i386-disc3.iso /cd3 Use Nautilus to browse to /cd1/Fedora/RPMS Open a 2nd Nautilus and browse to /iso/rmp From the edit menu on the Nautilus at /cd1/Fedora/RPMS choose select all files. Use the mouse to drag and drop the selection to the Nautilus at /iso/rmp Use Nautilus to browse to /cd2/Fedora/RPMS From the edit menu on the Nautilus at /cd2/Fedora/RPMS choose select all files. Use the mouse to drag and drop the selection to the Nautilus at /iso/rmp There will be one duplicate file. When it asks about the duplicate tell it to skip the file. Use Nautilus to browse to /cd3/Fedora/RPMS From the edit menu on the Nautilus at /cd3/Fedora/RPMS choose select all files. Use the mouse to drag and drop the selection to the Nautilus at /iso/rmp There will be one duplicate file. When it asks about the duplicate tell it to skip the file. Now when you want to install a package use can use Nautilus to browse to /iso/rmp and double click on any rpm you want to install. Note: When Nautilus opens the package always hit the "Details" button. If it shows more than one package then there are dependences. Write down the names of any dependant packages and find them and double click to install them first. If you don't then the package install will stop after the first package and ask for a cd. The package manager is too stupid to look in the same directory first for the rpm. I may be able to get around that problem by adding ./ to the path once I find where fedora is loading its path at startup. This report is filed against a product which is no longer supported. It is very likely that the problem is resolved in the current version of Fedora Core or scheduled to be resolved with the new system-config-packages scheduled to land in Fedora Core 5. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: Ask for alternative to install additional packages (after installation) from iso images stored to hard disk. Currently fedora asks to insert cdromX. Also i ask for choice to install from other cdrom than /dev/cdrom (a system usually have additional cdroms e.g. /mnt/cdrom1). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.2.7-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use of redhat-config-packages 2.I realized that my main cdrom needs service 3.I realized also that afrer that is difficult to use this tool altough i have alternative sources (hard disk and additional cdrom) Additional info:
