Roo, you may have luck using yum localupdate *.rpm from the mounted DVD. 
(At the commandline and in the directory with the rpms. Do not attempt 
this from within the GUI. I have not had success yet but am getting some 
progress at a fair rate.

I hope the localupdate option only updates what is already installed 
unless newer deps are needed. I would hate to have an "Everything 
install" with all the languages, programs that I cannot stand such as 
gnome-screensaver and the file-search program.

Everybody reads into postings without considering someone is complaining 
about something that should work without a lot of problems. Some seem to 
be having no trouble. I am with this Dell Desktop with two IDE disks.
