How to update RPM's from ISO images after hard drive installation

Hi
 
I downloaded the FC4 ISO images and copied them to a vfat partition on my
hard drive, burnt a CD from the first image, booted off the CD, and did a
hard drive installation. This worked without a hitch (great!). But now,
whenever I install new software (e.g. AdobeReader -
AdobeReader_enu-7.0.0-2.i386.rpm) the system asks for (e.g.) Disc 3. When
this happens (during rpm installation) there is no option to browse to a
directory where the ISO images are stored, and one of the reasons I did a
hard drive installation is so that I don't have to keep swapping CD's
(later) when updating the system.
 
Is there a way to tell the system where to find the installation media (ISO
images) so that I don't get prompted for physical CD's when adding rpm's?
Surely this must be possible since the system managed to install off these
ISO's in the first place?
 
My apologies if this is a really basic question but I've only been using
Linux for a few days now and so far I've spent most of those days trying to
sort this issue out, so I'd really appreciate some advice.
 
Pete.
