Hi Jack

If you have BDI Ver 2.04 you will need to download
control-panel-3.13-1.i386.rpm and printtool-3.44-1.noarch.rpm from
http://www.linuxcnc.org/bdi/programs
The later BDI versions all contain these two files.

One other note - There is no need to mount the cdrom or floppy, as there is an
automount function built in to the kernel.

Regards, Paul.
