When you're installing, once you're done w/ CD1, you're DONE with CD1. No other package to be installed should call for CD 1 again. Ditto CD2, and so forth. Also some logic is put in so that hopefully a basic or default install should only require the first and possibly the second CD. > Can anyone JUST tell me how a "rpm -i some.rpm" knows that package > someother.rpm is needed.
