It must be RHL 7.3 Special Edition then. Here's my fairly fresh RHL 7.3
system:
[summer at Pelican summer]$ rpm -qf /etc/redhat-release
redhat-release-7.3-1
[summer at Pelican summer]$ ls -d /m*
drwxr-xr-x 4 root 4096 Jan 3 08:39 /mnt
[summer at Pelican summer]$
No /media directory you note. Nor was there on 6.2, 5.{0,1,2} nor RHL
4.{0,1,2} noe RHL 3.0.3. I used them all; probably 6.0 and 6.1 too,
though I can't recall for sure.
