Hello experts, this is Avinash. I am very new to Linux.
I've Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 installed.
I'm trying to mount CD drive
# mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom
I got following error
bash: mount: command not found

While searching for solution I came across some websites and I tried one of the solutions, which was as follows

install the cifs-utils

I tried it using
# yum install cifs-utils

it says
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up install progress
Nothing to do

I'm root user. I don't understand, what's happening.. Did I miss anything while installing the OS?
What should I do .. Please help ..
thank you.

$ rpm -ql cifs-utils : No 'mount' in cifs-utils.

Please use you search options : $ yum provides */mount

# yum install util-linux-ng

Mount is a very basic command included by default in every Linux distribution. This means that something is wrong with your install. Either somehow mount was removed, or you modified your PATH and removed the directory it lives in "/bin".

What is the output of "echo $PATH" and "which mount" as root, since that's what you were running as? Have you done anything recently regarding root's or your user's .bashrc or .bash_profile, or have you removed any packages recently?

no, i haven't done anything to .bash_profile. i don't know where is that located either. may be there was something wrong with the installation.
so i reinstalled the os and it works fine. may be i did not choose proper packages..
