Hi
I've just got the infomagic December '96 CD set, I've set up Redhat 4.0
OK, but The cd isn't automatically setup and I can't seem to get it to
mount. I tried to mount it as HDD1 with type ISO9660, no good.There's no
"atapi" or "CDROM" in the dev list, although there are some drivers for
the proprietary cd's (sony cdu535 etc). There was no mount point setup
in /mnt so I created a directory.

The facts:
Dell Optiplex P90, 64Mb RAM, 3 HDD's and an IBM 8x ATAPI CD connected to
a CMD640 eide controller. Atapi is slave on controller 2 (IRQ15, io170).
Installation off CD (no floppy) went perfectly smoothly. I can start
xwindows no problem, I can see Linux partition OK(HDB1). The other odd
thing is that I can't mount the FAT partition on HDA1, although I CAN
mount the HPFS partitions. The HPFS partitions are OK to copy files off
using command prompt or MC, but when I tried to access files that are
below the root (under os2 boot - i.e /os2/../files under linux) with
xviewer it won't let me change to a subdirectory. The HPFS partitions
are fine under OS/2 and NT. FAT's fine under DOS and NT, OS/2.

Because I had problems with the mounting I did the "everything" install
in case I'd left out something critical, 350 MB let (they weren't
kidding when they said everything!!!) Same thing.

The other cards in the PC are a Jazz 16 (SB16 clone), 3com 3c509
ethernet, S3 864 2Mb. Nothing unusual there.

Any help would be appreciated.

BTW what's the go with RPM that I keep hearing about what is it and how
do I use it.

TIA
John
