I upgraded my 8.1 box at work to 8.2 using the dvds. As this was my personal copy of 8.2 I keep the media at home. But I copied the CDs to keep in my office. I wanted to install something from the CD's today, and Yast2 of course wanted the dvd at first. I changed the installation source to CD, but didn't notice that this entry in the source list was for the 8.1 CDs. You can't edit these entries - just add or delete. So I tried to add a new CD source, and it worked - after a fashion. I put in CD1 and added the source /media/cdrom/suse/i586. But when I do a search for certain packages, it of course only looks on CD 1. If a package isn't on CD1, I'll have to set up a new source for CD2, CD3, etc... The source entry for the 8.1 CDs doesn't require that a CD even be in the drive when you search for packages. Then when you select "accept" to install the package(s), it tells you which CD to put in. How can I create such a source entry for the 8.2 CDs?
