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 /

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).
You are right, I didn't rebuild comps rpm, as I didn't think I needed
it. Are you saying that it compares .discinfo in comps.rpm with the one
actually on the disk? How exactly do I build comps.rpm, by the way? I
know how to create rpms in general, of course, but are there any
special tools for this one?
