Thanks.

I followed your suggestions:
first I made sure I was able to read the content of the CD,
just with 'ls /mnt/cdrom';
then from the directory
/mnt/cdrom/install/stage2/live/usr/lib/rpm
I did
# rpm -ivh kernel-source-2.6-2.6.8.1-10mdk
, but got the following message:

error: open of kernel-source-2.6-2.6.8.1-10mdk failed: No such file or directory

. Any other hint?

Thanks again,
Rodolfo
