Actually, since it's a translation table from short (ISO-9660) to long
filenames I would expect to find one in every directory. It is (IMHO)
somewhat irritating and redundant (since Linux supports Joliet long
filenames) but it's a "feature". My personal solution is just not to bother
with the cd but rather to build a mirror of Redhat-X and updates-X from one
of the larger FTP mirror sites. If downloading 1gb or so of data is
impractical in your case (i.e. you have either high-cost or low speed 'net
connectivity) then you can build a mirror from the cd easily enough, just
exclude all the <translation table> files, they simply are not needed if
the system already supports filenames longer than the old 8.3 system and if
you're doing an NFS install you'll never miss them. AFAICT the easiest way
to make this happen (since cp doesn't seem to have an exclude command)
would be to use a combination of find (with print0), xargs and cp to do
something along the lines of:
find /mnt/cdrom -not -iname "?translation table?" -print0 | xargs -0 -ifoo
cp -v foo /mnt/nfs_volume
where you replace "/mnt/cdrom" with the path to the RH cd and
"/mnt/nfs_volume" with the destination path (n.b. the above command should
all be on one line). More elegant approaches are welcome :)

"Microsoft?" is the question.
NO! (or Linux) is the answer.
