RH9 ISO Updateing, How?

[Kareem Shehata]

Madison,

I haven't mucked about in RH in a while, but last time I did, there was
a RPMS folder in the root of the CD.  Try adding/removing packages there
and give it a shot.  Dunno if there's actually a package index on the
disk, or how you'd go about updating it.

HPH!
