Do you mean to run "Add/Remove Software" first, and follow its instruction
to insert the proper CD?

               # redhat-config-packages   (for RHEL 3 and earlier)
               # system-config-packages   (for RHEL4 and later)
 
>This fires up the GUI package installer from the hard disk and you can

>Hat icon on your desktop's menu bar, then drop all the way to the bottom
>where it says "Add/Remove Software" and click.  It'll ask you to enter
