There is no "magic directory" that the installer will automatically use as a source of updates or additions to what is installed from RedHat/RPMS/. This sort of thing needs to be done manually at the end of an installation, or scripted via a kickstart script. You can put your extra packages almost anywhere on the last installation cdrom that is used... once the install is finished (before rebooting), the last cdrom used remains mounted on /mnt/source so you can conveniently access them from there manually from the shell prompt at the Alt-F2 console. This would also be an ideal situation for doing some nice customisations in the %post section of a kickstart script. Warning: sometimes the third disk is not used in the actual installation, ie, none of the packages on the 3rd disk are required. This is not an issue for network installs, but if you have a large number of extra packages and files that you want to use immediately post-install and they are all on the last installation disk, then you might need to _force_ the use of this one by deliberately choosing to install at least one package that is known to be on it. BTW, why do you talk about srpms (source rpms)? Am I missing something? > thanks in advance bye Cheers Tony
