I get it straight from RHN.  I find it hard to believe that I have
access to all the installation media they have to offer all the way back
to RedHat 9 on every platform but I am not allowed to have the boot.iso.
  However, it is _not_ there.  If someone can actually see it, please
post a link to the RHN page and maybe I can get at it that way?

I need to my new vendor supplied licenses are added into my volume
licensing via RHN.  Since I installed RHEL 6 instead of 5, they aren't
registered, they don't show up under my licensing info for the
university and there is no way via RHN's website to get them in there.

The problem in a nutshell is this, and I am sure I am no real exception
here:  I have long time developed post installation packages, scripts
and programs that set things up in standard ways to make RHEL
installations here usable for a standard subset of users.  This new
release takes great pains to break what I (at least) thought was a very
well thought out standard set of packages and services that RHEL 5
provided.  At this point I am still finding things that are missing and
broken as I plow through all this and the impression I am getting is
that for an enterprise ready release, it's not very enterprise ready.
For instance, people who do large volume server installs don't have time
to use the GUI tools to configure their LDAP authentication,
notwithstanding having to crawl around looking for why you can't auth
the way you need to.  I am not opposed to installing packages either,
but there are some that certainly make sense to already be there that
just aren't, not that ksh necessarily is one of them, but pam_ldap sure
is and there are others I keep finding as well.
