RedHat 7.3 CD's - The latest

Okay, the latest update. I tried doing an upgrade from 7.2 to 7.3 on the box 
I was having problems with.

Same problem. When the install asked for CD 2, I get the messaeg unable to 
mount CD. This time, I popped over to the shell on virtual console 2 and 
created a temporary directory where I mounted the CD to. No problem! I could 
browse away to my heart's content. 

Unfortunately, I'm not sure where RedHat mounts the CD during the install 
process so I couldn't continue with the install anyway!! 

Does anyone know where that may be? I thought it might be /mnt/sources but 
their is no such directory and I have a feeling the install process 
dynamically creates mount points as it goes along.  I vaguely recall seeing 
/tmp/cdrom at one point as well, but unfortunately no luck there either.

So, obviously the CD is fine. The PC can read it no problems. It can mount 
it, so there couldn't be some sort of driver issue like I first suspected. 
There's plenty of space on the hard drive. No messages pop up on the error 
console as to why the CD is unmountable.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Paul.
