How do you get your RHEL CDs?

[Ali, Saqib]

Mount the ISO images on a linux based file repository, and make that
mount point accessible via HTTP. That way anyone can access the media
over HTTP. You can even do a fresh install over HTTP

mkdir /var/www/html/RHEL40CD01
mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /var/www/html/RHEL40CD01
