I'm downloading disk 1 and 2 from redhat's FTP (I guess this are for sure the essencial d/l right?)

There are 2 more ISO there: the powertools and the SRPMS.

Will it be a waste of time to d/l the 2 other ones?? Or are they essencial too?
What's inside powertools?

Thanks

SRPMS are the sources of rpm's used to install redaht on your box...powertools iso contains all the extra apps/goodies that are not installed by default but are provided in rpm format eg. postfix,cyrus-imapd,cyrus-sasl and more...unless i'm wrong, someone please explain better.

I thinks you are right.
But one of my question still is unanswered:

What is in PowerTools, is there a software list from this cd somewhere? Is it usefull?

Thanks
