It depends totally on what you're using. I'm guessing you are in
something other than linux. If that is correct, I don't know how to tell
you what you need to know since I don't use any CD reading/writing
software in anything other than linux.

You can download the ISOs from one of the mirrors located at

http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html

If you aren't using broadband of some sort, I wouldn't recommend this
method because it will take you several days. If you are using
broadband, it shouldn't take more than a few hours. You only need the
first 3 ISOs to make it all work. And, some mirrors are faster than
others, so it might take a few tries to find one that is suitable.

If you are in windoze or something other than linux, perchance someone
else can offer instructions for making the images you need from the CDs
you have.
