There is a "New Thing"(tm) in this update set :) (don't you just love new things :)

If you install the new centos-release rpm, you should have a /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo file

If you then stick in a CentOS DVD (the CD's won't work as there is no mechanism to change them out),

Couldn't you copy the contents of all 4 CDs to a local drive and then edit the config file to point to that location?

it will normally automount into either:

/media/cdrom

or

/media/cdrecorder

If it automounted, you can do this:

And if it's not automounted, how do you go about fixing things so that CDs/DVDs do get automounted? I have that problem currently on my CentOS 4.3 (soon to be updated to 4.4) system.
