OK. The first CD in the set should have a launcher called autorun. It is
a script file that loads up /usr/bin/redhat-cdinstall-helper.

If it doesn't prompt you on insertion of the CD, then the auto stuff
isn't running. That's OK as it is a bit of a hog. Just mount the CD in
the usual manner (mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom) then cd
/mnt/cdrom and run the autorun script.
