I have a Dell laptop on which I have installed FC3.
It has no cdrom.... I managed to get FC3 installed by
copying the FC3 ISO's to a partition on the laptop and
changing the grub.conf on the previoous install to
allow me to boot to the partition.
My problem is that I need to install gcc
and package manager can't seem to remember where it
installed FC3 from [/dev/hda5].
I tried mounting /dev/hda5 on /media/cdrom but the
package manager didn't find it.
Where would I find the conifg file for package manager
that controls the source directory????
PS.. what is the 'command line' command to bring up
PackageManager form a window?
Thanks a lot in advance..
