All of them resulted in the file not found output. Here are 2 mount -r -o loop /home/yumrepository/FC-5-i386-disc1.iso disc1 ( /home/yumrepository being the directory I created to hold the files ) mount -r -o loop /media/disc/FC-5-i386-disc1.iso disc1 I have looked at all the disc files and can not determine any path to iso files. On disc1 there is a isolinux directory and a repodata directory but these directories are not on any other discs. There is no pattern I can determine on the discs that would tell me where the ISO images reside. Thank you very much for your help, but it looks like a dead end unless someone can tell me the iso paths or how to install the modem drivers. If I download the RPMs in windows to a CD, will they work in linux? Once again, I am grateful for the help. Regards, David Roberts
