adding local package repositories



Title: adding local package repositories

Hi all,

I am preparing a custom, automatic installation media for a specific application.
I have successfully configured pre-seeding to automate almost everything.

My problem is the following:

I can not use network mirrors for the installation, so I have downloaded the first three DVD images
to the pendrive.

However, I can only add them to the sources list relatively late in the installation process
(in the "late" custom script), so when the default package installation happens, only the first
DVD is available (it's found automagically by the installer).

So I can only install the first group of packages the proper way, I have to install the rest
late, in the custom script .. which is not really nice.

Is there a way to bring up my other two DVD images earlier in the process?

I know I can define network mirrors in the pre-seed config file, but how do I add local
file mirrors?

Thank you for your help:
