IIRC downloading the "Easy ISOs" of anything has always been just for paying subscribers. The RHEL beta announcement backs me up: RPM and source RPM packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Beta 1 are available via Red Hat Network to all RHN users at: https://rhn.redhat.com Installable binary and source ISO images are available via Red Hat Network to all RHN users with paid subscriptions at: https://rhn.redhat.com/network/software/download_isos.pxt > I can see you being confused if you see them available, but if you do, > you and I are on different sides of a fence. Get 'em while you can. The beta is still available on your favorite mirror: http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/beta/taroon/en/iso/ Release ISO have never been freely downloadable AFAIK. -- William Hooper -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list I am nor sure about being a beta tester again. I tried that three times on three programs. Each time I spent hours carefully writing a report of a problem so it could be clearly followed and the programmers locked on one key phrase, answered it as though I didn't know what I was talking about and ignored it. In two cases they released the program with the problem and fixed it after everyone's system or program crashed in the release. One time the programmers read what I said properly the second time around and fixed the problem. I don't care if someone puts me on a kill list in this forum, they haven't asked me for anything, but when someone asks you to report something so they can fix it, I at least expect them to try to fix it or at least acknowledge that they are aware of the problem. (end rant) sorry :( Buck\ -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
