Sorry that I still keep on questioning. Yes, I tried exactly what you
told me and linked the URL properly => No chance.
Then I made a 1:1-copy of the first cd, telling redhat-config-packages
to use this copy => no chance. But telling this tool to use /mnt/cdrom
works.

Redhat-config-packages seems to be like a woman: no logic, no deep
understanding. I did exactly the same as described in the README-file on
the first CD => no chance. Well, I am short before giving up.

Why does it work when using the first CDROM and entering:
redhat-config-packages -t /mnt/cdrom ?
And why does it not work with the 1:1-copy of the first CDROM in
/usr/src/cd1 entering: redhat-config-packages -t /usr/src/cd1 ?

Do you still have a big hint?

Thank you very much,
Arthur
