Please don't top-post on this mailing list.

If you're lucky (and you haven't installed any updates to your system), 
the system-config-packages tool (Add/Remove Packages on the menu) will 
allow you to install from CD.

If not, you'll need to work out which packages to install and then 
extract them from the CDs yourself manually and install them using RPM. 
You could use the "yum groupinstall" command I mentioned last time to 
find out which packages were needed, and answer "n" when it asks for 
confirmation to download and install the packages.

Alternatively, if you have lots of disk space free, you could set up a 
yum repository on your hard disk, which would save you downloading the 
packages from the Internet.

I described how to do this at:
