downloading iso from redhat

[proffy]

Question: I was attempting to download redhat 7.0 and burn the iso to CD. I was looking for the file redhat-7.0-i386-disc1.iso (as redhat's page suggests) but all I could find on the ftp server was
7.0-i386-respin-disc1.iso and
7.0-ja-i386-disc1.iso . Are either of these what I'm looking for? What does the "respin" and "ja" signify? http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/confused.gif

The respin is just an updated version of 7.0 Actually there are only a few files that are updated on it, but yes it is the latest. As for JA I am not sure what it is?

And none of the Red Hat 7 images have kde2 on them.

In short yes the Respin is what you are looking for.

Does it have kde at all? I'm using the version that comes with redhat 6.2. Any nice new features?

Thanks

yea it has the latest version of KDE before 2 (whatever that is) I use Helixcode Gnome so I am not too sure what version of KDE it is exactly.

As for new features, I am sure it does but I haven't found enough to rush out and upgrade from 6.2. The reason I am running it was to check it out, I am sure that there are some nice spiffy new features and someone will most likely post them all :-) One thing that I have noticed is that they have changed the way that inetd works (not in a bad way!) Plus by default not every service is activated which prevents tons of security holes!

I am happy with it!

About time! I've been hacked due to this.

Errrr.... one more question. I'm making a boot disc too, I assume I want the boot.img file. But I noticed there is a bootnet.img file as well. Do I need that for any reason? I'll try the boot.img file first...

yes you want boot.img! the bootnet.img is used to install from the network via NFS, HTTP, or FTP This used to be all in the same file but I think in version 6.0 they moved it to the bootnet.img version.
