That's more or less what I thought. Solving these RPM dependencies
previously could be quite a challenge, if not duplicating all the
effort YaST already does. Optimally distributing the RPMs among media
could be the stuff of a PhD thesis on AI. :)

I guess I'll work on convincing them to use the network or getting
some external DVD drives then.

Thanks for your help!
