You need to mount the NFS share with the packages on it and then specify the --tree=/path/to/packages option to system-config-packages. The tool assumes you're running it on something other than s390 (which is true of most of the system-config-* tools).
My memories of this tool are getting fuzzy because in RHEL 5 it uses yum under the covers. I can't recall if it was possible to tweak the up2date/RHN sources (/etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources) with RHEL 4 and have system-config-packages work... ks (Blatently copied from my post last week about this) On 3/22/07, EXT / DUBOIS Laurent <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I've just installed a RedHat under my z/VM. (I used Suse before) I installed the system trough a NFS server and it ran ok. Right now I want to add some packages, using KDE. When I use the Add/Remove application tool, the system asks me to insert a CD .... But I don't have any CD under my system ... Does any one knows where I must change some parameters in order it searchs the package trough the nfs server ? ( I kow how to do it with Yast under Suse, by changing source of installlation menu ... But here I use RedHat) I can do the rpm commands one by one, but I have severals packages to install, and it will take some time to do it manually.
