Here is what I did. You need to mount the cd 1) start button 2)hit programs button 3)hit administratos button 4)hit "Text mode file system tool" hit the ""mount"" button next to cd-rom exit and save. then restart system after restarting xwindows """startx"" at prompt and getting back into window go to the control panel and hit "Package Management" hit available and your hard drive should start whirring. if it doesn't you haven't mounted it. If it does then you need to change the path that the package manager looks to. On my redhat cd 5.0 it is x11/applications/networking. I hope this points you in the right direction. I just started to run this linux last week. I am still trying to figure out how to dial.
