Mount the CDROM on the CDROM machine.

Get an ftp daemon running, doesn't need to do anon ftp as long
as you have a login available on that box.

Tell your client machine to install via ftp (rather than local cdrom or
nfs) if you are doing a new install/upgrade and give it plip as the
network driver.  (have to scroll down the list a way)

If you just wanna pull RPMS off the CDROM, then just use normal
ftp.

When you use ftp in the redhat install, give it hte IP number
of the CDROM machine, and tell it you wanna use non-anon ftp.
You'll be shown a screen asking for your username and password on
the CDROM machine, and the directory the stuff is in.

So if you had mounted the CDROm on /mnt/cdrom, you'd give
it a valid login on the CDROM machine, and directory /mnt/cdrom
