How to download Redhat Enterprise server 7

Latest response

Hi Team,

I tried download the Redhat Enterprise server 7, after 3.2 GB the internet was disconnected. After I tried to download, it is saying need to wait 90 days. But I didn't install the software fully. How to download the software again. I need to practice and write exam on June end.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Bhaskar,

It seems from your description that the main problem is with a slow/unreliable Internet connection. One way to get around the problem may to download and install the very small "RHEL 7.1 Boot ISO" (from the download page). It only weighs at around 340 MB, so you should hopefully be able to download it.

Using this minimal ISO, you can install the bare-bones system and then continue to install software using yum (ideally using one or more of the predefined software groups to make it easier - How to install a group of packages with yum on Red Hat Enterprise Linux?). If you connection fails during yum downloads, yum will be able to pick up where it left when the connection comes up again.
