Using a dvd.iso file, on HD, as a media source, post install

Postby akbrian » Feb 27th, '12, 00:16

So I downloaded the dvd.iso to my /var/ftp partition, it happened to be the release 2 beta, but this applies to release 1 also, and then booted off a usb key (boot-nonfree.iso) and did a successful harddrive install to my beta partition. After install I know I have to edit the path to the iso file (from /tmp..), but how can I use the unmounted iso file as a urpmi media post install?

That's not possible AFAIK, you need to mount it for that. But maybe someone else has some clever idea?
