Pre-3alpha2 classic dvd i586 with default gnome installation from a USB stick

Trying to install packages from the USB stick.

For the purposes of testing bug 7710 I need to install gnome-panel and gnome-shell so switched to tty2 with tty1 stuck at gdm.

urpmi fails with being unable to find "core media" and a perl error - 

Use of uninitialised value in subroutine entry at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.16.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Net/DBus/Binding/Connection.pm line 257.

The USB stick is not auto mounted, even after removing it and reinserting. Manually mounting to /mnt/disk makes no difference.

urpmq --dump-config

shows it is looking for "core media" at cdrom://i586/media/core

despite being installed from USB.

I wasn't sure what to file this bug against so opted for release rather than rpms or installer, please change as necessary.

Ack, closing as invalid. I was mounting the wrong partition.

Operator error!
