This has to be changed to
dd if/dev/cdrom of=/iso/cd1
Ditto for cd2 and cd3

This has to be changed to
urpmi.addmedia 'mdk 8.2 cd1 iso' file://mnt/cd1
The name is required and the file:// spec had a typo.
Ditto for cd2 and cd3
Jim, thanks. This is so cool. Moreover, 'mdk 8.2 cd1 iso' also showed up as a valid
resource in rpmdrake. That means once you install all three disks this way, you could
remove the CD resources from rpmdrake if you wanted.
