LinuxPPC-2000: Bug in the RH installer

[Ingvar Hagelund; UiO]

The CD-ROM images spread to the LinuxPPC mirrors over the world are in hfs
format. The Red Hat installer tries to mount the CD-ROM as an 9660 image.
This won't of course work, and causes problems, for example for RS/6000
owners like myself.

A simple solution would be to change the RH installer so that it mounts
with "-t auto" instead of "-t iso9660". Then it will detect the CD-ROM
properly, both for iso9660 and hfs CD-ROMs.

Regards
Ingvar
