One thing you can do is create a directory under /media called "cdrom"
(that is, create /media/cdrom), and then manually mount the CD there.
Then run the installer.
This issue has to do with the way Linux/Fedora is handling mounting of
CD ROM devices. You may want to Google around and read some tutorials
about how this should work. It's not a gEDA issue. We can try to
help, but it's clear that you need to sort out this Linux issue and
get the CD mounted before you can use it.
Here's a third way to use the .iso image:
If you have the .iso file somewhere on disk, just mount it
directly, and use it exactly like it was a disk. The mount command
looks something like this:
mount -o loop -o exec /path/to/installer.iso /media/cdrom
/media/cdrom/installer --log
You may want to spend some time reading the man page for the mount
command.
Good luck!

Looks like it is mounted with noexec, but where is this being set, because my
fstab file doesn't have anything concerning the cdrom as far as I can tell. The
fstab file contents are below.
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0

when I look in my /mnt directory there is nothing in there.
Let KDE automount the CD and see where it went.
Check the contents of /etc/mtab while the CD is mounted:
cat /etc/mtab
Look for a line that contains "iso9600". (Probably the last line). On my
box it is:
/dev/hdc /cdrom iso9660 ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=kmk 0 0
The second item in the line is the mount point for the CD drive on your
system.
