I think that should exists a relation between packages and the

Why fix a bug that doesn't need to be fixed.
Above method works for me.
Personally I do know how to use DVD as a repository, but that's not
suitable for users AT ALL.

Well, sorry but you simply don't get it! Give a Fedora DVD to a new
Linux user and tell him to install it on his own system.
Then ask him to
install Eclipse from DVD since he will most probably NOT opt to
customize his package set

That shouldn't be a problem as long as updates is enabled.

Why do you even need to mount it? Removable media is of course
automatically mounted when you insert it (if someone is logged in on the
