Hi,
I installed Fedora Core 1 from ISO's previously downloaded on my Mandrake partition. I did not actually burn the disks. (It's a waste of CDROM's)
Now I would like to add some packages. (I may need some tools and libraries to compile an OSS sound module and to have the nVidia-installer compile a 3D driver.)
Actually, all you have to have is the kernel-source rpm for whichever kernel you wish to compile OSS against.
After selecting the packages, the Fedora installer requests to insert
the 1st CDROM, which obviously I don't have.
Is there a way to install the selected packages from the ISO's, previously stored on my Mandrake partition? Or will I have to burn the disks anyway?
Sure...you can do it the same way I did my network install.
Create a mount point, like /mnt/disc1 or some such.
Then, as root, "mount -o /path/to/yarrow-i386-disc1.iso /mnt/disc1"
You can then cd all around /mnt/disc1 and retrieve any RPM you wish.
Thanks for any assistance.
Albert
