Yast does many things, some better than others. One of them is to allow
the user to search the package descriptions and select software for
installation. It then asks for the relevant CDs and installs things.
Does aptitude/synaptic work in the same way with CDs? Maybe I should I copy
the CDs to hard disk and let it install from that?
