Your cd will not contain an hdlist which is what is scanned to get the contents of the cd.
But you do not need to do it that way. If you are fairly sure that you will have no unsatisfied depends and/or conflicts then: mount /mnt/cdrom and: cd /mnt/cdrom or the directory if you created such on the cdrom. Then do: rpm -Uvh *rpm This will install all the rpms on the cdrom. Charles
