RH 8.0 CDs

[Brian Tafoya]

Here is the list of sources I used with wget to pick up the CDs...

http://mirror.hiwaay.net/redhat/redhat/linux/8.0/en/iso/i386/psyche-i386-disc1.iso
http://mirror.hiwaay.net/redhat/redhat/linux/8.0/en/iso/i386/psyche-i386-disc2.iso
http://mirror.hiwaay.net/redhat/redhat/linux/8.0/en/iso/i386/psyche-i386-disc3.iso
http://mirror.hiwaay.net/redhat/redhat/linux/8.0/en/iso/i386/psyche-i386-disc4.iso
http://mirror.hiwaay.net/redhat/redhat/linux/8.0/en/iso/i386/psyche-i386-disc5.iso

Use the following syntax to get countinous retry, etc...

wget -i links.txt -n0

where links.txt is a text file with the above URLS pasted into it. :)

Always works for me! Good luck! You will like 8... my laptop sure does!
