Out of the blue..someone asked “where to get the ISO image for latest RedHat ?”
Just go to http://www.redhat.com
click on top menu called “Downloads”
For the lazy bum.. here it is..
https://www.redhat.com/apps/download/
.. Oh wait, you need to be an active subscriber before you can download the files..
scroll down a bit from the download page..
there it is
If you do not have an active subscription:
* Purchase from the Red Hat Store
* Free 30-day evaluation subscription
Click on “Free 30-day evaluation subscription”.. or https://www.redhat.com/rhel/details/eval/
you will have to provide some information and email address, bla..bla.. then Redhat will assign a account number to you.
together with active subscription.
Then.. log in as a newly created user, go to “Downloads”.. can start download the ISO files from there. “”
If you have an active subscription:
* Download your software here
or something like this one.
https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/downloads/SupportedISOs.do
The url given in the ISO list come with some sort of session key.. that url can be used with wget command also..
Ok. after downloaded the ISO file.. around ~ 2.9 Gb ~
can just write it into DVD-blank and do the rest.
Well, here are the screenshot during installation is as below : (warning: massive graphic load ~ 40 images)
