Try www.linuxiso.org for the iso images.  Will be two cdroms.  Download
those, mount the images and burn them.  You then have both installation
CD's with all rpms located where the installer can find them.  Normal
installation process allows you to further choose both full packages
and/or individual programs.  Takes a while to download.  On a 56k modem,
took me several nights:  recipe:  start download, go to bed, shut off in
the morning, repeat till completed.  I use gftp as it allows resume,
seems fairly stable, ie, no unexpected crashes.  redhat.com site also
has the same iso files.  I found it occassionally full and could not get
on right away.  Good luck.  Richard
