    I'm getting really strange behavior when trying to install software with
    YaST under 9.0. Everything installed fine from the DVD, but now I can't
    seem to get programs added by it.

    First, it won't go to my DVD ROM drive. I can mount my drive (at
    /media/dvd) manually, so everything seems right, but YaST can't mount it
    when I choose "DVD" as a source. So YaST is mixed up about its
    definition of my DVD ROM. How do I correct this?

    Furthermore, when I mount the DVD manually, and choose to install
    software from a directory, it can't see RPM's that I know are there
    (specfically, rdesktop). It seems that the catalog in YaST's memory is
    screwed up. How do I clear it out so that it can be reloaded with a new
    source?

    Thanks,
    dk
