If the Cd is mounted, then in RedHat 5.2 it is mounted on /mnt/cdrom. So
just go to the directory "/mnt/cdrom". It will act just like any other
directory and to install "*.rpm" files on the CD, just use the rpm
command, ex. "rpm -i filename.i386.rpm".

Isn't there a README on the CD? If not then I would send it back.

If X is on, run xfm(file manager). A lot easier for you. If not, at
prompt, do

cd /mnt/cdrom
ls

usually the case.
