You will most likely have to enable the the repo. See my previous post to you. Should be file://media / in the repo to install from the dvd. You will have to edit it.
i found the CentOS-Media.repo can you just tell me how to add centos dvd which is in E: drive to this file.
Thanks a lot . and your are rite abt suse . i hope i never have to go back.

- how to add dvd as repository. in suse it was automatic.
# CentOS-Media.repo <<<--------------Look for this file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ # # This repo is used to mount the default locations for a CDROM / DVD on # CentOS-5.

i choose centos b/c it has the longest upgrade cycle.
about 8 years....
i am using centos 5.1 on vmware server
but if i cant solve it i will switch back to suse.
should be pretty easy to get it going now you have the relevent infomation to to get up and going. I hate Suse! M$ supports them.
