Robert,
    Yes i tried that command you sent me, and it gave me the same error that i got
before:
        "Wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many mounted
filesystems"
Thats the error i have been getting, i used to get it before, but then i would just
restart or something and it would go away.  Some times it would work and some times
it wouldnt.  It just depened on which way the wind was blowing i guess.  Yes i do
have an IDE cdrom, as for the channel or device i really dont know.  How would i
change hdc to something else?  This is just one of my MANY problems that i am
having with RedHat.  Which is why i would like to come in, my color is all messed
up, kppp wont find my modem, and just other little things.

-Alan
