Try looking for a egcs RPM instead.
To mount, try "mount -o loop -t iso9660 file /dir" or just
"mount -o loop file /dir". CD images are not ext2 file systems. They

Now, for your RPM problem, get the 6.2 updates. There is everything you
need to upgrade to rpm 4.02 in the 6.2 updates. To get tlibbz, install
the bzip2-0.9.5d-2 RPM.
