hi, i have copied the contents of the red-hat 9.0 installation cd's to my hdd.(/tmp/Shrike) i would like to use the red-hat gui based package installation tool. but the gui application searches for the the red-hat disc to be present in the cdrom. i guess i need to mount a folder within a filesystem onto a directory (ie /mnt/cdrom). if by a miracle what i said is right how can it be done.. or is there any other way to work around this? thanks rahul

Try this mount /tmp/fdimage /mnt -t iso9660 -o loop=/dev/loop1
man mount for details
(ie /mnt/cdrom). if by a miracle what i said is right how can it be
