I am trying to find the RPM set on the Application CD from redhat Linux
5.1.
I figured using Glint will not work until I have mounted the Application
Cdrom. HOW?
It is certainly nothing like FreeBSD mounting.
Will Glint automatically find the RPM's path on the redhat application
CD once mounted or will my next question be what is the path?

So peruse the man page. It will surely say something
like:
mount [-fnrsvw] [-t vfstype] [-o options] device dir
nothing could be clearer....
Nope, but you can change the search directory in glint....Quote:>Will Glint automatically find the RPM's path on the redhat application

1. CD-ROM mount needs source <--> source needs CD-ROM mount
I've just ploughed through the entirety of misc,hardware and setup, to no
avail; I installed Linux from the sbpcd boot disk (as I have a Panasonic
CD-ROM drive hanging off a SoundBlaster-compat. card), and the CD-ROM drive
chugged away happily to give me the OS. However, my concerns about the size of
everything I was prompted to install made me decide NOT to install the linux
source.
Now, when I boot up the CD drive cannot be mounted because of 'wrong fs, blah
blah, or other error'. I interrogated sbpcd.h (I *did* install the includes)
and the setup was incorrect. Because I can't mount the CD drive I can't get
the source off the CD - re-booting off the boot disk (sbpcd) and trying a
reinstall from the CD using setup gives a warning that the CD drive can't be
mounted.
Should I delete the linux partition and start from scratch again? I do really
need to access the CD drive, and I realise now that it is kind of useful to
have the OS source.
Apart from that, it's great having a proper OS on my PC at last!
