gcc, gcc-g77, gcc-g++, gcc-c++, gcc-objc, gcc-chill, gcc-fortran
are all available separately, so perhaps I need to install one of
those?

Yes, I've got the official release for 7.0, and I
can use one of several mount points; I do that myself.
If I read it from my CD-RW, for example, it's just /cdrom
like with Slackware. I suppose I'll go ahead and _remove_
the gcc rpm first.
