if you typed it as you did in your post, it might be a problem of case.
try this:
/mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
just like that. case matters in Linux. also, glint won't show any rpm's
if they are already installed. did you check the "install everything"
box when you installed Linux?
as to opening a CD in windows, unless the CD was a CD-R and you
opened it in a CD burner, it shouldn't have done anything to affect
Linux. CD's are read-only.
i hope this helps.
