I have written a perl script that uses curl to login to rhn.redhat.com, grab the right url, and start the download using curl. Usage: rhn-isos release-name disc-number arch username password Example: rhn-isos psyche disc1 i386 bob bicycle Will download the first i386 binary iso of RedHat 8.0. It will work with releases 7.0 and higher. Though with 7.0 it is a little different since the filename is 7.0 and not the release name. Also 7.0 i386 isos have the word respin in the place of the arch. You can set a default arch, username, and password at the top of the script. You can also use it to get source rpm isos by using SRPMS as the arch. Yes, I know I could have used perl code to replace the grep and cut commands. I am a novice programmer, this is a hack, and it works. If anyone wants to submit to me a cleaned up version that works, feel free. http://24.205.202.237/rhn-isos I decided to do this after a friend was complaining about the lack of priority ftp access and what a waste it was to do it over https. I had recently made 3-4 scripts very similar in nature to automate the creation of mail accounts via the web-cyradm interface. -- Phoebe-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/phoebe-list
