Excuse the crosspost, but I got NO takers on my previous post about
mounting an external filesystem as a local CDROM. So, as another possible
solution, how can I get the redhat "install applications" (run from the X
gui) to look somewhere other than the onboard CDROM for the RPMs (if the
original install was from CDs)? I can mount my local CDROM to a directory
on a remote redhat box and install the packages (often one at a time as
the dependencies require), but the package manager gui interface is quick
and easy, especially for the packages included in the distribution, if I
could get it to look for them in director(ies) instead of the local CD
drive.

Any help appreciated,

Thanks,
