If you've got X configured, go into X (as root), put your CD in, and run 
glint.  It should be on the menus, or open an xterm and run "glint" from 
there.

If not, you'll have to mount the CD and go into the "RedHat/RPMS" 
directory.  There you'll find all the packages, one per file.  To install 
a package, type:

  rpm -ivh <packagefile>

If you change your mind, use

  rpm -e <package name>

to remove it.

Be sure you don't already have the package installed.  If you're not 
sure, use:

  rpm -Uvh <packagefile>

That does an upgrade.  If you don't have the package, it will go ahead 
and install anyway.
