[ltp] getting RH 9

[john.p.richardson at att.net]

Let me caveat my last post by apologizing for the misinformation.  I copied and
pasted the link I used Tuesday to get the ISOs and didn't bother to check to see
if it was still good.  Evidently, the folks at RH got wind of the hole and
plugged it.  

Again, my apologies...
