I commented on this a few posts back, but thought it was perhaps a fluke
of mine, but I'm not so sure now. Tonight, I tried without success to
install the mysql package from the 4.1 CD's and I got the same non-event
as before. After selecting the package with "add/remove software", I
checked the mysql box, then added the server and perl modules to
complete things. The CD was in the tray, but tray was open. When
prompted, I clicked OK, the tray inserted, and the drive spun up, but
nothing happened. I briefly saw the CD appear on the desktop, then
disappear, which it did before. I know its mounted, as when I open the
icon for computer, and select the CD-RW drive, the file list pops into
view.
Is this something that occured due to the 4.2 update, or should I be
still able to install software from the CD using the add/remove tool?
Pkg add jumps right open when I manually clicked on the mysql package in
the rpm list, so I know that part is working. Any way to debug this
problem, as there are times when I'd like to be able to install straight
from the CD vs. a yum install (like when Dag's repo is down as it is now)
