RedHat: Mlocate


Did any of you encountered a problem where the CD media in the PC failed to 'mount' in the Linux?

Well I just had one recently, it's not easy at the first place but eventually issue resolved after I done steps below.

I try to 'ls' the location where CD mounted which is "/media"

Then 'ls' "/mnt", still nothing..



Now I start to think of the yum.conf might be able to help me in this case.
Out of surprise, it's mounted on the media ! That should explain why the previous 'ls' returns nothing. The "/media" simply has nothing inside !


After some research, I managed to found out the REDHAT mount CD ROM from sr0


Now, yum is checking the package and its dependency


Voila ! Done !


Hope this helps !

Rootcause:
#1 Yum couldn't find the package.
#2 The CD isn't mount at the right place.
