Yes it is. I think it currently autodetects if there's RHL 8.0 or 7.3,
but maybe you'll need a different disk for 7.3. Michael?

*grumble* `man dd` shows indirectly that dd would barf on read errors
(the noerrors option). I'd say the easiest way is to pipe the output of
dd through md5sum and compare.

Yipe! That's a *very* outdated version of miniconda! Sadly we cannot
delete files from savannah. :-((( I think it only works with RHL 7.2.
Grab here (you need both the boot and updates disk! The regular RHL 8.0
disk will not work with the updates disk from RULE!):
http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/rule/miniconda/miniconda-v0.7.4/updates-0.7.4.img
http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/rule/miniconda/miniconda-v0.7.4/images/boot.img
Check the downloads with md5sum.
Or try slinky, but that's more handiwork:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/rule/slinky/slinky-v0.3.6/
