	From the fstab it does not look it is already mounted at boottime.
How did u infer this? If u r running RH6.2 (even others) there might be a
utility 'autorun' running when u loginto X. This will mount many of the
cd's and run respective softwares for them.
	If u want to do it manually, u can do either:
mount /mnt/cdrom 	or    mount /dev/cdrom
	for unmounting
umount /mnt/cdrom    or   umount /dev/cdrom

	Change the IP in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (On RH)
and in /etc/hosts . and whereever u have put it. 
	You need not restart linux for changing most of its functionality.
Just restart the service (here network)
	/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart
However linuxconf gives a better interface if u don't know what do.

	U can use kpackage (in kde), gnorpm (in gnome) rpmdrake(mandrake),
etc to see what packages are installed. Then u can selectively uninstall
them.
