Hmm. That's kind of hard :(. I thought Miark summed it up best - the installer can't ask for other CD's if the installer has to be on the CD and not on a RAM disk. I'm not certain on memory requirements for the installer. As I commented (to Miarks post) on the list it makes for difficulties if the "other" cd's (2 &3) aren't as easily accessible as is the first one. Ideally, you'd want them all available at once. One can do an urpmi.addmedia after the fact (as I do, since physically I only have a #1 CD and don't have a burner) but it has to be done after the initial install, as far as I know. My previous installs have been HD installs - I just pointed the install to a place on my HD where I had all the packages downloaded to. For 9.0 it's a bit more complex because 1) the HD install broke my box, and 2) I have ISOs for the two other CD's and not the RPMs themselves. So I elected to loopback mount the other 2 CD images some- place, and after urpmi.addmedia, I can then just add packages in as desired. Are you installing 9.0 fresh for the first time on a (new) PC, or do you have a Linuxb setup already working? > -- j
