information over into my running journal of Linux knowledge. Thanks again.

I am sick and tired of shuffling the 3cds whenever I have to hunt down multiple RPMs
to install a new piece of software. I have a 80GB hard drive. Is there a traditional
place to which I should copy all the RPMS (/usr/src perhaps?) Or should I just make a
new partition called /cds and copy

um Matt... that is why Urpmi is part of the ditribution
I think we are missing the point.
With hard disk space ubiquitous and cheap, why not load them to the hard
drive.
To make life easy would this work?
mkdir /iso
dd if=/mnt/cdrom of=/iso/cd1
...
dd if=/mnt/cdrom of=/iso/cd2
...
dd if=/mnt/cdrom of=/iso/cd3
mkdir /mnt/cd1
mkdir /mnt/cd2

I tried it; see below
mkdir /iso
dd if=/mnt/cdrom of=/iso/cd1
This has to be changed to
dd if/dev/cdrom of=/iso/cd1
Ditto for cd2 and cd3
mkdir /mnt/cd1
mkdir /mnt/cd2
mkdir /mnt/cd3
mount
