RE: RHEL 3.0

["Renee Lee" <drlee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bruce, I was just thinking what Redhat would say if I put
together a set of ISO' similar to the Ver. 9 ISO's
and gave them away by download or sold them for the price of the CDR's.

Would they still continue to have the sources on their web site?

I am willing to try and make these ISO's as I strongly believe that
Linux needs to continue as it has for the last number of years.
For free down load from a site on the net in a ISO form that can be
installed from the cd's.

you know...

if there's anyone who has the skills to create the ISOs from the rpms...
there might be a nice little business in creating a type of installation
function that works in a fashion similar to the RH ISO/Install.....

my gut tells me there are probably a number of people who'd be willing to
pay a couple fo $$$ for this..

You cannot find them because you are looking for the wrong thing. The bits
that are available for free are the srpms. If you want iso's you have to pay
Red Hat to create them. One of the services they will provide for a fee is
creation of the iso's. That service is included in their support package.
:-)

As was mentioned earlier the bits are still available for free you just have
to form them into something useful for you. Numerous people have done this.

In addition for those of you wanting to upgrade from something to RHEL one
totally unsupported way of doing this is to use yum.

Just remember if you try this and it breaks you get to keep the pieces.
Having said that I have done several upgrades from 7.2 to 2.1AS
successfully. I have not tried going to 3 this way though.

Good Luck,

.................Tom
