mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom (assuming cdrom is in FSTAB,
you shouldn't have to specify filesystem type, etc.)
Then, you should be able to cd to the directory you want to
have as your "unpacking" directory and if it's a *.tar.gz
file, type "tar xzvf /mnt/cdrom/<filename.tar.gz>"
If it's an RPM, just type rpm -ivh
/mnt/cdrom/<filename.rpm> It's no different from installing
from a file on your hard drive that you downloaded.
Alternatively, you can just copy the word perfect to a
local directory, and install it as normal from there. :-)
