Some cut'n'paste output would be very helpful. What is the command you
used to mount the CD-ROM? Is your CD-ROM device listed in your
/etc/fstab? (This, of course, can affect what parameters are
required for the mount command.) From the dep't-of-the-obvious: Are you
specifying the same directory both times? Example:
~$ ls /mnt/cdrom
[...directory listing here...]
~$ ls -l
total 0

Here are a couple of lines of output from the 'set' command on my
system:
HOSTNAME=wally
HOSTTYPE=i686
I don't know if that's what it's asking for or not. I'm also not sure
where $HOSTTYPE is set; I suspect that it's set from one of your init
scripts (again, I'm being Captain Obvious <g>), but I'm not sure which
one, or even where to look on yours, as I've not used RedHat.
Hopefully, someone else might be able to provide some better/more
detailed information.
HTH,
Bill
