Emm, select "from directory" here. That point should be
somewhere to be found. Then, give the directory where your RPM
archive sits in (hint: The CD is mounted under /var/adm/mount).
You do _not_ have to enter the filename(s) since YAST detects
them itself.

I am not very familiar with YAST since I do not use SuSE.

Yes, of course. As mentioned already, your CD will be mounted by
YAST under /var/adm/mount if it is not mounted already, you'll have
to select the appropriate directory as installation source.
Cheers,
