They probably keep it down low so that the users that do connect can
have adequate service.  It's probably hard to make it on right now
based on rh6.2 being released.  Try a mirror.

Basically, install from the cdrom for the box with cdrom, then, if you
have space copy the image to disk and use NFS/FTP/HTTP to let it ship to
the other boxes.  If not, put the cdrom moutn point under the
appropriate tree and use NFS/FTP/HTTP then.
