Copy them, remove the old ones, and run genhdlist on your tree. If
you copied your cdrom in /mnt/redhat, you'd run
"/mnt/redhat/misc/src/install/genhdlist /mnt/redhat". I know this isn't
obvious, but I didn't think that many people would want to do this :-)

Nothing. The first is a symlink to the second.
