Just out of curiosity, do you think not knowing how to swap CDs is
some
sort of permanent or unsolvable problem? Yum is not in a static
state,
adding capabilities, especially to the module is something we're
doing
all the time.
I'd actually like to see that - I distribute a DVD that has a mirror of
the current updates repository on it for people who do a fresh install
and need to get the updates - it would be nice to offer it for CD based
people.
Of course, DVD-ROM are pretty cheap, at least in the US. I think ~
$20.00 or so at some places. But it would be nice to have CD/DVD
swapping to, like apt does (at least on Debian, I haven't tried apt on
anything else)
