Hi.
 
Please log in as root and give the following command. Make sure you insert the Redhat CD #1, 2 or 3 as per requirement prior to this command,
 
# mount /mnt/cdrom
 
after this ,
 
# cd /mnt/cdrom/Redhat/RPMS
 
# ls -l
 
You will be able to see the list of all RPM files in this directory now, if you need to install any of these, give the following command,
 
# rpm -ivh filename.rpm
 
To use the second CD, you will forst have to unmount the already mounted CD,
 
# cd /root
# umount /mnt/cdrom
 
Then repeat the above steps.
 
Good luck

Subject: [ilugd]: MOUNTING CDROM FOR ACCESSING RPM PKG FILES FROM IT

Dear all,

I am using RH 7.3 Linux. I have some RPM packages on a CD and I wish to access these packages directly from it. Is there anybody who can guide me how I can do this ie. how I can mount my CD containing RPM packages and then access these packages accordingly.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

Malkiat
