Try grabbing just the iso9660 image. You're better off using a mirror than
the red hat ftp site. I use ftp.tux.org. The file you are looking to grab
is /distributions/redhat/redhat-6.1/iso/6.1-i386.iso. This is the complete
red hat 6.1 distributions already in bootable cd-rom format. You just need
to burn it to disc. Of course, you need to check the red hat web site for
errata and install those on your system as well. The howto about burning a
red hat cd (sorry, don't remember it's specific name) provides a nice
script for updating your distribution with errata. That means you are
better off mounting the iso image, copying the contents to a directory on
a filesystem where you have plenty of room and replacing the packages
BEFORE you burn the disc. They will be installed right off the bat. That
howto is very good and I strongly recommend it to anyone burning a disc
for the first time.
