First of all, I'm wondering if this is the right place to ask questions
about redhat-config-packages... I think I'll try:
I'm testing a custom installation DVD containing Red Hat Linux 9 and
some additions, and all the required files for anaconda boot and
execution. OS installation using the DVD works just fine, but if I start
redhat-config-packages with no arguments when the DVD is mounted, or
double-click on one of the rpms, I get a message saying that /mnt/cdrom
is not a valid installation source. However (and this is the really
weird part), if I issue
redhat-config-packages --tree=/mnt/cdrom
on the command line, the installer GUI starts as expected and package
installation works just fine.
Usually this means that you didn't rebuild the comps rpm, and it is
looking for the .discinfo in the original disc. One work-around is to
mount the disc first, and then click Yes when it asks about
automatically running it. For some reason, this doesn't do the
.discinfo check (like useing the --tree option).
