scribers.
To download an ISO image, Red Hat recommends copying its URL and using either
curl
or
wget
.
Click the help on using curl or wget link for precise instructions. To obtain the URL, right-click on
the disc link and select to open the link in a new window or tab. You may then cancel the download,
copy the lengthy URL from the location bar, and paste it into the curl or wget command.
Once downloaded, either burn the images to CD-Rs or CD-RWs or copy them to the machine
for direct installation. Refer to http://www.redhat.com/download/howto_download.html for
additional download instructions and steps to burn images to discs. Refer to the operating system’s
respective installation guide for instructions on installing from CD-ROM or hard drive, available at
http://www.redhat.com/docs/.

nels. Refer to Section 4.6.3 Easy ISOs for instructions on use.
