I am trying to install a software. I open a shell and type in

rpm -ihv AWCOMMON-4.1-16

but it reply

error: open of AWCOMMON-4.1-16 failed: No such file or directory

Do i have to type it in the CDROM directory?

You eihter need to be in the same directory of the package to are trying to install or add the path in front of it's name.

su into root and use this command:

mount /dev/cdrom

or

mount /dev/cdrom1

if you have something like a cdrom and a cdrw.
