Could you please explain what is exactly the problem? Can you mount the CD? Can you see what is on the CD? What kind of Matlab is that (a generic Unix CD, a stand alone Linux version?). Ideally, you should run a script, you should have it on the CD. I just followed the instructions that they give in the brochure, and the install script ran smoothly for me.

Well, if you don't have any luck with other cds, it's not matlab or cds cause the trouble:-). It might have something to do with permissions to run mount. Check the permissions by typing (you don't have to be root for that):

[root@localhost nikisa]# ls -l /bin/mount

-rwsr-xr-x    1 root     root        68184 Feb 11  2003 /bin/mount

I don't know about 9.2 but previously MDK used to have a feature called supermount - you stick a CD in and it's being mounted without your intervention. It certainly runs mount behind the scene, so if mount is broken - it's broken... Can anybody confirm, is supermount included in 9.2?
