Well-- this is evaluation software, for people who are not
yet RH customers. I am baffled at single-use download links that expire;
I've never seen that before. There is a 200MB boot.iso which is an
easy download, but it's useless for me-- unlike Debian's netinstall
it requires that you already have a local repo. Chicken and egg...
