Sure be ignorant. But don't pass judgment - and advice in that state.

Thanks for that. Done that, looks like Yum is doing something, but
not what I want. Its going too slowly to be reading my DVD>
Yum doesn't look at your DVD. It goes over the net to the mirrorlist
specified in the default configs.
The default mirrorlists are all over the world - reconfigure them to a
more suitable values. (so thing are faster)
I responded to your earlier email on the basis you were telling _me_
what _I_ would do: one of the problems with English is one can't
always understand whether a speaker means "you the person" or ""you
the group," and I interpreted you differently from what I would have
meant.
I guss my initail sugestion was for the OP - to use yum - instead of
mounting/searching each CDs one at a time - as you sugested.
