Subject: [ale] Agh! Can't download RH ISOs


Hey folks,

I just blew $60 on a RH network subscription. So I'm trying to download the
ISOs so I can burn them. It's a simple request: I want to download the
images to my home directory, which has a large number of free GB.

But both Mozilla and Lynx insist upon downloading the images to /tmp
and moving them to my home directory. That doesn't work; /tmp is on
a partition with only about .5GB free. Sure, I could move it, but
what a pain; and I shouldn't *have* to.

The RHN instructions say, "Please copy the URL for your ISO image into
this curl command:

curl -C - -O <the URL>"

But that doesn't work. When I try it, curl downloads a page that says,
"Nyah nyah, you aren't authorized, you thieving maggot", or something
similar. (Actually, it says, "[Blah blah,] your session has expired,
please sign in again" -- but if I do that and then try the curl
command on the URLs in the new page, the exact same thing happens.)

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
