6.6.3. Easy ISOs
The Easy ISOs pages provide direct access to the ISO images available to you. These images, com-
prising full installations of various Red Hat operating system distributions, are actually located within
the Downloads tab of the Channel Details page. This feature is available only to paid RHN sub-
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/.
ISOs can be further broken down by their relevance to your systems. Two such lists emerge: Relevant
and All.
6.6.3.1. Relevant ISOs
The Relevant ISOs page is shown by default when you click Easy ISOs in the left navigation bar.
It displays a list of ISOs by channel now associated with your systems. Links within this list go to
the Downloads tab of the Channel Details page. Refer to Section 6.6.3 Easy ISOs for instructions on
use.
6.6.3.2. All ISOs
The All ISOs page can be retrieved by clicking All below Easy ISOs in the left navigation bar. It
works identically to the Relevant button with one exception; It displays all ISOs available to you
through Red Hat Network, regardless of whether you have systems associated with the related chan-
nels. Refer to Section 6.6.3 Easy ISOs for instructions on use.
6.6.4. Package Search
The Package Search page allows you to search through packages using various criteria. You may
search by name or name and summary,within relevant or all channels, or within specific architectures.
