I'm not the best person to ask about RH, but I did see a page today aimed at new users, and it was RH-centric. home.earthlink.net It does not look like it has any info on CDROM mounting, tho.. Here are some pointers: You may already have your CDROM mounted. Look in /cdrom or /mnt/cdrom. The file that tells your cdrom to mount automatically is called /etc/fstab. Do a 'man fstab' and a 'man mount' for details. Try doing a 'mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom'. Note that /dev/hdb assumes that your CDROM is connected to the slave IDE port of the first controller. If your CDROM is connected to the master of the second controller, it will be on /dev/hdc. This is used to manually mount your CDROM if you don't already have it in /etc/fstab. I have assumed that your CDROM is IDE (not SCSI), and that you are using the default kernel that came with RH, instead of compiling your own. Speak up if I'm wrong on these assumptions.
