Hi, folks!
Does anyone knows how could I install some new packages on CentOS (4 and 5) using the cdrom media?
Att: My HD doesn't have much space to copy cdrom content to build a filesystem repository.
I hope this great tool will should ask me by each cdrom witch it need, isn't it?
Thanks in advance.

Look at the file /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo. The comments at the top should get you going.

My appologizies, by my poor English and by my mistakes trying to explain you this.
I just looked on that file. That one explain how to use DVD. If I'm not wrong that process sounds like a filesystem, isn't it?
What about CDRom? I've a CDR-drive, thense I've 6 CDs (centos-5) media and I want to use them to install some new packages. Once again, how could I do this on CentOS?
Thanks a lot in advance.

You can use yum with the example in that file to install.
You could also just use RPM directly - i.e. mount CDRom, rpm -Uvh /media/cdrom/RPMS/blah.rpm, unmount CD, but that will not prompt you for the appropriate CD like you asked in the first message.

if you got the disk space, copy the RPMS directories off all the CDs into one directory, then copy that CentOS-Media.repo file to a new one, edit it, give it a new tag (CentOS-LocalCopy, or something) and adjust the path to point to your conglomeration dir...

Sorry, yum does not have nice support for removable media.

It has, but not on CentOS (yet). Mount the disc, and use that as a filesystem repository in yum. Has treated me well in the past.
Kind regards,

"ask me by each cdrom witch it need", e.g., Mandriva's urpmi.
