Maybe I should make this a tip, I have mentioned this on list a few
times before... *sigh*

Once you've done your redhat install, make an RPM file list like
this...

	rpm -qilp /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/*.rpm > /root/rpmlist.

Assume that your Redhat CD is mounted at /mnt/cdrom and that you are
logged in as root.

Now you have a handy file you can browse and search for file locations
of every file that comes on the redhat disc.

Did no-one do this?

Cheers

Alex!
