I am installing RH 7.3 on two Dell 1650 servers.  For some reason CDs
don't automount when a CD is inserted into the tray.  I have to use
the mount command. What am I missing???

Also, what happen to linuxconf that was available at 7.2?

I do not know what you are missing. I hated automount when it was
running on my R.H.L.6.2 system that I tracked it down and turned it
off. It would make entries into my /var/log/dmesg file every few
seconds... 8-(

I believe it is on one of the installation disks, but it seems not
to be needed. I did not much care for it, though it is handy for
setting up disk quotas. But it messed up sendmail configuration
files unless you figured out how to turn that off. Maybe Red Hat
have seen the light and are phasing out linuxconf.

Yes, they are.  They have said it was deprecated, as too many people were
having problems caused by it.

Uh, strange, do they explain why they did this ? Licencing issues or ?

Some due to space. They eliminated Powertools and incorporated some into
the OS. Already getting into 3 CDs, they decided to do away with some.

They had a rethinking in the case of Postfix because there was a major
outcry. It's now installed alongside sendmail.

Some was dropped due to licensing (xv was an early one as it's shareware).

Some was dropped in favor of other things that did the same or similar.

In the case of enlightenment, not sure. I guess KDE, Gnome/Sawfish, IceWM,
FVWM and FVWM2 were thought to be enough. It's plenty easy to add others
(I add XFCE and upgrade IceWM right away).
