It's really weird how redhat does that, I have no idea why they would 
take out that option after you've installed it. You could browse the cds 
for the rpm file you need, and install it that way. I recommend you 
don't run the graphical rpm installer by double-clicking on the package, 
as it doesn't give you an error message if something's wrong. Instead 
use the command line and go:
rpm -ivh package_name.rpm
