Rock- 

looks like what you need is:

redhat-config-packages ----isodir=PATH

No guarrantees but that *should* get you what you want.  It worked for
me on my rhel3ud2 devel box here at the house.  The only problem that
I had was I *had* to have the iso local

I am up and running and using the add remove applications button but want it to go to a mounted ISO versus asking for the CD.  I have installed the RPMs manually but wanted to be able to use the groups from the install.

On a side note how do you use the application installer to install additional package groups like development from a mounted iso image.  It keeps wanting me to insert CD-ROM but not letting me choose the mounted iso images.    Thanks for any feedback.
