Thank you! It works. I did: # mount -o loop,ro /mnt/mandrake/yarrow/yarrow-i386-disc1.iso /mnt/cdrom First, I had to mount the device/partition to moint point /mnt/mandrake Second, I had to mount the complete path to /mnt/cdrom Now I guess I should be able to install packages as if this mount point were a virual CDROM? Just one more little quetion: do I need to mount the ISO's 2 & 3 also?
