He's trying to Add/Remove Programs and his box won't recognize the CD.  
He must have updated  at least one version
since he installed., because I am having the same trouble. I installed 
Update 2, but now up2date has me up to Update 3.
My box doesn't recognize the RHEL AS 4 Update 2 CDs, and it exited with 
error when I tried to give it Update 3 CDs.

He could always download the packages from the Red Hat Network and 
install the rpms from the command line. 
rpm -ivh package-name

Hope this helps,
