Very Computer

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give me.

I've installed RedHat 4.0 and proceeded to configure it for use as a web
server on a 28k line using the Control Panel.

I had problems getting ppp to stay connected and eventually I decided to
'verify' ppp's files using Control Panel's Package Management options.

It appeared that a couple of files were bad or missing so I leaped to
the conclusion that I should 'uninstall' PPP and then reinstall all of
it.

Unfortunately when I click on 'available' in Package Management I get a
message of 'RPMs now available in /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS...

I'm lost.  I've checked FAQs and docs but nothing seems to directly
address this situation.

What I'm looking for is this...

Do I need to completely reinstall the whole Redhat system...or...can I
just reinstall the PPP.2.2.0f-2 file set???

And if the later option is the thing to do...how do I do it.
( and...is it possible to do it from Contro Panel??)

Thanks for your help.

I was confused by this a few days ago myself. Be sure that your CD-ROM is
mounted first! If you need more info, I may be able to help through email.
