[Cumbria] Developers Tools

[Mat Brunt]

Okay,

Here's the update....

Finally got it to stop asking me for packages and start running through 
the package installation.

However (why is there always a however in life?), it keeps asking me to 
put "Psyche 8.0" Disk 1 in the drive.
I've tried disks 1, 2 & 3 of the Red Hat installation CD's (disks 2 & 3 
having the RPM's) and it just keeps displaying the same message.

I've got automount enabled and can read the disks (I can install the 
RPM's manually from it), the only thing is the ISO name isn't Psyche 8.0 
- it is "Red Hat Linux-i386 8.0". Does this matter?

If I install the RPM it stops at when asking for the disk manually it 
gets another stage on....at this rate it looks like I will have to 
install each RPM manually, so much for automation!

It's a good job I'm in a good mood tonight....
