Okay...I followed the instructions but when I bring up YaST, my only choices for "Filter" are Selections, Package Groups, Search, Installation Summary. When I used the CDs before and went to "Selections", it would show both the installed packages and the NOT installed ones. Now that I have the ISO images on the hard drive and have mounted them, it only shows me what I already have installed. How do I get YaST to show me ALL of the packages on the mounted ISO images and not just the ones I already have installed?
