Read from CD or DVD using terminal scripts for non GUI RHEL 5 Enterprice system

Hi,

I need to reinstall the DKU because system init 5 is spawning too fast.
Startx wont continue so therefore i need to use the terminal script.
I have already mounted the DVD ROM. Question is, how do i open the files written on the DVD so I can copy it to /usr/tmp

Thanks,

mv is the command to copy files but I may misunderstand what you have.

Just a correction jefro, mv is for moving files, and cp is for copying ;)

in order to copy the files off of the DVD you could use something like the following.

Code:

# mount -t iso9660 /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd

# cp /mnt/dvd/foo /path/to/destination

# umount /mnt/dvd

# eject
