So my question is this. What is the best way to copy the 5 installation cd's over to your hard drive for future use? I have tried before just copying them into ~/cds/cd1 etc and yast wouldn't see it as installation media. So what is the best place to put them? and is there any special way that the cd's need to be copied over?
Just `cp -ruv /media/cdrom/* ~/discs/' (or some other appropriate directory) for all 5 discs (or both DVD's). Then point YaST at ~/discs for a location from which to install software. (It's looking for the .../i586 subdirectory underneath wherever you point it.) Regards, dk
