Follow on: On this page: <https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/release-notes/RELEASE-NOTES-x86-en.html> I saw this: > Release Notes Updates > > This section contains information that was not included in the > distribution version of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Release Notes > > * CDs and DVDs do not automatically mount when you are logged in > as root. As such, you will need to run the following command > to mount a CD or DVD to /media: > > mount /dev/cdrom /media The problem is not only when logged in as root. I did that (su - and then: mount /dev/cdrom /media) and I was able to install the Package I wanted. My question remains, what configuration file do I need to change, to get automount to work correctly on that box? (The same DVD was used to install CentOS 5.0 on my box and my daughters box). I use GNOME on both boxes. Works perfectly on my box. TIA, Lanny
