Laugh all you like. You missed my point entirely. I'm well aware of all 
the different ways you can install RedHat linux.

The iso's are by far the most *convenient* for a single workstation or 
three. By asking people to buy a boxed set to get those, I think it 
would be more-significant stream of income for RedHat. Indeed, why 
*should* I pay for the iso's when my workplace has 2 T1's, I have DSL, 
and two of my co-workers have cable? But I, for one, would be very 
willing to part with the money for a boxed set if that was the only way 
to get the iso's.
