[Bastille-linux-discuss] Red Hat 7.2 CD (ISO) images available for download

[James W. D. <jwd...@l-...>]

Bruce Meyer, with a itty bit of help from myself, has set up download 
access to
the primary set of Red Hat 7.2 (enigma, as RH calls the release) CD 
images.  The
images are in ISO format, burnable to CD-R or CD-RW discs in any of a 
variety of
ways.  This access is being set up for the benefit of Bastille Linux 
developers and
members of the Bastille-Linux-Discuss list that need or want access to 
RH 7.2 and
haven't had luck getting it through other means.

To access the material, please follow these instructions:

  - point your browser at the site
          <http://www.tex-support.com/Networking/Security/security.htm>

     - click on the "Bastille" button on the upper lefthand side of the 
screen

     - when prompted for a password, enter "roswell" (we promise you 
won't be asked to watch the
       silly TV show of the same name)

     - this will take you to a page with some descriptive text and a set 
of links you can click on to
       download the ISO images and the MD5 checksum information for 
verifying the transfer

So as that Bruce doesn't swamp access to the www.tex-support.com site 
for the other
uses it serves, download bandwidth limitations have been set at 384 kbs 
(that's
"bits", not "bytes") per connection.  You can figure a full CD download 
in the
5-7 hour range.

If you partake of this, please go after the Enigma Install Discs #1 and 
#2, and Install/SRPM ISOs MD5 checksum file to verify your download (the 
checksum file is
tiny, so it'll download in a few seconds).  At a later point, if you 
wish to grab
the SRPM ISOs or the Docs disc, then do so -- but first, grab what 
you'll need to do
an install.

The site will not remain up indefinitely.  We're planning on leaving it 
up until
Monday evening or sometime on Tuesday.  Or until those on the Bastille 
list have all
had the opportunity to grab the files they need.

I would also offer the suggestion of tracking down and using Red Hat 
mirrors, official
or otherwise, but those that I did check out just recently are at 
maximum capacity. Bruce's site probably represents the best bet for 
those privy to its existence.

Questions or comments can be directed to either Bruce or myself.  We'll 
do our bes
to respond and be of any necessary assistance.
