I'd say connection problem. I have accessed anonimously ftp.redhat.com
and gone to the update section several times in the last hour.

He-he!

This is the whole point of RULE: hand pick only the right package from the
latest distro version, and install them with our custom tools. And,
after that, since it's not another distribution, you have the same
packages as thousands other users, you can ask support in a much
larger community.

I have a laptop with 32 MB RAM, 700 MB hard disk. Last march I
installed RH9 on it with RULE: base, X server, KOffice and Firefox
took surely less than 550 MB. So there! Details? click in the news bar
on the home page the link "RULE install fest in Tuscany".
