Hi Gang,
I had 2 of the 5 CD-Roms D/L for FC6 and set this system I'm now
using up. I like how it works, but it lacks many applications I will
want. So right now I'm D/L the rest of the FC6 CD-Rom's and want to wind
up with a large FC6 system. My plan will be to load ALL from the six disks.
There are several ways to do this. I expect the best is to Upgrade
the current FC6 with a new one that puts all the stuff in. What is the
problem(s) with doing this? I know you DO NOT format the disk and not
sure what the loader will do when it sees that a RPM has already been
installed.
yum localinstall /media/"mount name"/Fedora/RPMS/*.rpm
Remember, you would get all the language stuff that you may not be
interested in, as well as a heap of -devel packages.
Is there somewhere I can read about this?

Once you make your repo use your CDrom {or easier iso images}, then the
standard pirut tools can be used to install software found on the CD's.
