I was indeed using an incorrect procedure. I was trying to add the cd sources with the actual corresponding cd in the drive. [:-( I SHOULD know better by now. I was informed the following: Insert CD#1 in the drive and run the following command su'd: "urpmi.addmedia --distrib removable:////mnt/cdrom" Oh yes, and to avoid duplicate entries I had to remove all cd sources prior to running the command. All is well now.
