Why did you do that before checking what was available on your CDs?

Do you really think Red Hat would ship a Linux distribution with no gcc
and no CVS?

You have down the wrong type of installation - presumably you chose one
with no developer tools. On my system:
$ rpm -q cvs
cvs-1.11.2-10
$ rpm -q gcc
gcc-3.2.2-5
$ rpm -qf `which cc`
gcc-3.2.2-5
Either manually install the RPMs from your CDs or re-install and this
time choose an install type more suited to your need. For what it's
worth, if you have the disc space the easiest way is to select "Custom"
and then select "Everything".
