If it were me, I'd bypass the GUI, and do rpm commands via the command line.

Subject: RH EL 30 AS Package Installation


I'm now trying to add packages to Red Hat EL 3.0 AS after having installed
it.  I'm using VNC client to connect and run the KDE desktop.  After
selecting the (very Windows like) "Add/Remove Applications" icon, I get the
panel "Package Mangement", "Add or Remove Packages".  Without stopping the
application then open a second window, "Checking system package status",
which further says "The package manager program is searching your system to
determine which packages are currently installed."  So far, so good, I
guess.  But again, without stopping, the application then opens a third
window "untitled", "Installation Tree Not Found.", which further says "The
path /install/rhelas30/zseries/cd1 does not look like a valid installation
source."  But, in fact, this -is- where the first CD is located.  I can see
each of the items in this directory in Konqueror (for example).

How do I get around this?
