i have been unable to mount and access any of the files on the src rpm cd 2 of red hat 5.2, the boxed set. i am able to mount the cd, "cd" into the mount point, and run "ls" and "ls -l". but any attempt to access the contents of a src.rpm (whether with rpm, od, file or whatever) causes the cd-rom drive to go into an endless loop of read activity, with no results. at this point, i am fairly convinced that the cd is somehow defective. how can i get a replacement cd? thanks very much. note: cd 1 works just fine. rob day eno river technologies
You want to contact support for a new cd if this is an "offcial" Red Hat Software Linux. http://www.redhat.com/support/ This isn't a bug in any of the software.
