03/16/2005-07:18:35 PM-EST I am trying to run yum. yum is not cooperating. 03/16/2005-07:49:56 PM-EST Using the Personal Desktop option, there is no way to mount the installation dvd to augment the package store. I could, and did: # mount -t auto /dev/dvd/ /media/cdrom But there is neither icon nor visable means of mounting anything. And some daemon or other is not running. I have installed the kde desktop, but there are numbers of tools that are not included. I am finally doing a yum update.
