All of the package installation/updating software on FC5 is based on yum, which by default will access the Internet for the latest packages. If your system has no network connection, you won't be able to use these tools in the default configuration. However, you can make a local yum repository on your hard disk using the CD/DVD ISO images, and the Add/Remove software tool will be able to use that. http://www.city-fan.org/tips/YumRepoFromImages You will also need to disable the "extras" and "updates-released" repositories by changing the "enabled=1" lines to "enabled=0" in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-extras.repo and /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo Paul.
