Dear Rohit,

I have done many such installations ( I was forced ..)

(Necessity is the MOTHER of INVENTION they say ....)

Infact I always prefer HDD installation cause they are much faster and don't require Cd changing also

U need to create a the ISO images of the Cd's and place them in one partition.( u can use a seperate directory too....)

Type may be FAT or EXT ( avoid NTFS) U must now the partition naming convention eg /dev/hdc1 ,/dev/hda5 ...

Since U have opted the HDD installation I assume U know the way to get there...

Regarding making the ISO....

U can use X-Cdroast if u know and are comfortable.. If u don't have a Gnu/Linux machine up.. Then try Knpoppix and U can find X-cdroast in it..

if U prefer command line: issue this command in the directory U want the image /dev/cdrom refers to Ur cdrom device

dd if=/dev/cdrom of=FC_Disk_1.iso

Note the of==output file, and U can give any name U want above is just a example (Please Choose Different Name for each Cd.. I know U know that ....Just Kidding )

Regarding Add -Remove Package..

It automatically check for CD-Rom for Disks and not where U installed from...

OF-Course Unless U tweak it to do so ??

Now Once U have iso

What are U waiting for then.......

Start the installation........

Happy GNU-ing.............

Do tell me Whether I was of any help or not ....

Regards,

Shailesh
