The root of ftp.redhat.com looks nothing like an installable distribution. Somewhere under that is a directory that you could probably use, although the site is so bandwidth-limited that I wouldn't recommend it. If you really have to use some Internet site instead of a CD or some local distribution, send me private mail and I'll give you the URL of one of my install servers. - J<
