mount -r -o loop /home/yumrepository/FC-5-i386-disc1.iso disc1

( /home/yumrepository being the directory I created to hold the files ) 

mount -r -o loop /media/disc/FC-5-i386-disc1.iso disc1

I have looked at all the disc files and can not determine any path to iso files.  On disc1 there is a isolinux directory and a repodata directory but these directories are not on any other discs.  There is no pattern I can determine on the discs that would tell me where the ISO images reside.

Thank you very much for your help, but it looks like a dead end unless someone can tell me the iso paths or how to install the modem drivers.

If I download the RPMs in windows to a CD, will they work in linux?

Once again, I am grateful for the help.
