Ian,

My bad ... I know Red Hat has the ability to upgrade from 7.x to 8.0 via
software. The question I should have asked was an upgrade of the CDs from
7.x to 8.0. Is there a special purchase price, upgrade, for CDs for existing
Red Hat customers. Again, the issue is download time for the ISO images on a
56K dial-up. I know most of customers probably just download the next
version via the Internet.

I hate to use this example ... but .... The folks in Redmond offer an
upgrade from Win 9x to Win 2k or WinXP. You do NOT have to pay for the full
retail price for a new version of the OS. Does Red Hat have a similar
upgrade option for purchase rather than download?

I assume the answer is to buy the full retail version. Is that correct?

John

Sure they do.

Pop in v8.0, and one of the installation options is to upgrade your current
version to v8.0.
