[CentOS] New packages installation via CDRom
Hi, folks! Does anyone knows how could I install some new packages on CentOS (4 and 5) using the cdrom media? Att: My HD doesn't have much space to copy cdrom content to build a filesystem repository. I hope this great tool will should ask me by each cdrom witch it need, isn't it? Thanks in advance.
