RE: How do you get your RHEL CDs?

Thanks, but that's not a solution for my needs -- I can't rely on a web
server, even one in house. Has to be media in a box.

I must say, I consider Red Hat's unwillingness to produce media for
their major updates, even when a customer is willing to pay for them, to
be pretty odd and disappointing.

Mount the ISO images on a linux based file repository, and
make that mount point accessible via HTTP. That way anyone
can access the media over HTTP. You can even do a fresh
install over HTTP

mkdir /var/www/html/RHEL40CD01
mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /var/www/html/RHEL40CD01

I HATE burning and labeling and testing CDs. And lately we
seem to be
in a transitional stage between 32-bit and 64-bit, between
Intel and
AMD, and between RHEL versions [345]. With all the
variations, this
is getting to be a problem, but Redhat wasn't very helpful when I
asked how I could just buy CDs to accompany my RHN
subscriptions. I
checked a few of the fedora media vendors, like CheapBytes,
but so far
haven't found anyone providing RHEL on CD.

Yes, I'm aware I can get Centos from those vendors, but I have no
interest in Centos -- I'm paying for RHEL for a reason. :-)
And I'd
be happy to pay for CDs if I could find them or talk Redhat into
selling them.
