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.)
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?
Thanks for any assistance.
Albert

If you mount the first iso file, e.g. "mount -o loop,ro /mnt/cdrom
/path-to-iso/yarrow-i386-disc1.iso" and read through the README file,
it has directions for creating a directory from the ISOs for an
NFS-based installation. However, substitute "Fedora" where you find
"RedHat" referenced in the directions.
Oops. "mount -o loop,ro /path-to-iso/yarrow-i386-disc1.iso /mnt/cdrom"
will work much better ;-)
