[ltp] getting RH 9

[Daniel Curry]

OK, I got the three binary ISO's.  And as soon as RH releases them to
the general public, I will post them to an FTP server on my company's
T-1, with bandwidth limits to half the pipe, so we can still do
business.  I will post the IP to this group.

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...
