slightly off-topic but i don't have the heart to subscribe to yet
another mailing list -- i want to download the latest beta (2?) of
RHEL 6, and i've ended up here:
based on the datestamps in the filenames, i would think that second
ISO is the latest x86_64 image, but it looks odd that it's
significantly smaller than the earlier one. or am i misinterpreting
what i'm looking at? thanks.

why is beta 2 so much smaller?

While you may be adverse to subscribing to another mailing list...if you
plan to install and test RHELv6-Beta then you should reconsider. Not
only is the list specific to that version and its problems the list is
inhabited by folks not necessarily on this list and some of them are the
actual RH folks working on the project.
I don't know about you....but I would feel more comfortable with answers
on that list than answers on this list when it comes to RHELv6-Beta.... :-)

Fedora is switching to LZMA compression for RPM files which offers
better compression that the current format (BZ2, IIRC). I'd guess
that Red Hat has just moved some or all of the RPMs in RHEL over to
the new format.

Curious case indeed. Although it's a bit offtopic for this list, feel free
to reply with your findings :-)

I see an RHEL5 list, where do you find the beta list?
