Put your installation disk into the CD, get into root in graphic mode, and mount
the CD if you are not using supermount.
Then click on rpmdrake -- and wait a while while it loads its configuration....
Then from the main window, use the drop-down menu from configurastion at the top
to select CDROM and wait some more while it updates its database.
Then click on the plus next to the system folder and you will find the rdate
package/file/whatever listed. Click on it and then on install.
