mount /mnt/cdrom
mount /mnt/floppy
mount /mnt/flash (Though there is other configuration needed for a flash drive. If you need help setting up a thumb drive let me know.)

To be honest, it is better to just search the net and less time comsuming to find stuff for how to do something than it is to check the documentation. Just because a Distro has more doesn't mean it's easier to find something. I personally don't like RH anymore because it is so hard to find what your looking for.

It is much easier to open a book.

If you are looking for books, get Learning Linux, by Orielly. (I swear they are my favorite publisher.)
