Hi, There is a workaround that I used. It involves a little bit of scripting. These are the steps: 1. mount the isos via loopback 2. create a new folder and link all rpms from the isos there 3. go into that folder and install via rpm -Uvh rpmdb-fedora 4. from that folder you can now install any package from the distro using rpm -Uvh --aid package-name if you have enough space on your disk instead of linking at step 2 you could copy the rpms and this way it wont mater if the isos are mounted or not. if you need some help linking those files quickly I could help you with some scripts On Sat, 2003-12-06 at 09:31, Miroslav Halas wrote: > Guys, > > thank you for your help.
