Red Hat Enterprise Linux at Iowa State University

Downloading Easy ISOs from the Red Hat Network

To obtain Red Hat Enterprise Linux Easy ISOs directly from Red Hat, you will at least need access to a browser in order to login to the Red Hat Network (RHN). Red Hat recommends the use of the curl or wget programs but your browser will work as well.

  1. Login to the RHN with the account and password you associated with the ISU site subscription. You received this account when you requested it from the local ISU Red Hat administrators.
  2. Click on the Channels tab at the top of the main page.
  3. Click on the Easy ISOs link in the menu on the left of the Software Channels Overview page.
  4. Download the ISO set for the distribution of your choice. For most people this will currently be Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (v. 3 for x86). Red Hat provides instructions on that page on how to use curl and wget to do this. Or you may save it using your browser.
