List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: You want to do a similar thing to your CD ROM. You want to mount it: mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom is very likely all the command you'll need. Once mounted, all the HOWTO files will be accessible in their own directory. Under RedHat/RPMS (note the capital letters, and use tab completion to make it easy on yourself), you'll find all kinds of rpms that will install documentation on your harddrive: rpm -iv * should take care of installing all of them. PS: you might want to look at /usr/share/doc to see what docs are already installed. Also, you might want to create a symbolic link to this directory as follows: ln -sf /usr/share/doc /usr/doc in order to ensure that all docs end up in the same tree as you install new applications.
