[PlanetCCRMA] Downloading at work, installing at home?

[alez@vodafone.es]

Greetings!

I've been browsing the online documentation in order to find out the 
best way of installing Planet CCRMA at Home. I would be installing it 
in my home computer, which has no Internet connection available at all 
(it has CD-ROM, though). At work, I have good Internet access and a CD 
burner. Presently, I don't have Linux on my machine.

>From the docs, it looks like my solution would be to download Redhat 9 
ISOs (3 CDs, I think) plus Planet CCRMA at Home ISO (1 CD, I think), 
and take all the stuff home. Unfortunately, it looks like, although 
Planet CCRMA at Home RPMs are ready for Redhat 9, the ISO image was 
made some time ago and is not: It should be installed on top of Redhat 
8. I would rather go for an up to date installation since I believe 
that a lot of development has been taking place. Therefore, I was 
wondering if it would be a better solution to download all the RPMs and 
put them in 1 or 2 CDs. I don't know if I could then use apt to install 
them since I'm quite clueless with Linux, and I'm unsure of how the 
different dependencies would be managed. Also, if that's a possibility 
at all, I still don't know how to download the RPMs. At work, I can use 
HTTP and FTP only, which means I can use wget (we use NT at work but 
there's a nice wget port which works fine), but I've read that Planet 
CCRMA at Home resides in a repository, and I don't have a clue about 
what that means to me.

I would be very grateful to hear any "if I was you, I would.." from you 
guys. Also, if you have any news that an updated ISO of Planet CCRMA at 
Home is to become available soon, please let me know! To me, it looks 
like the easiest way.

Thanks very much and best luck with your musical projects. As you can 
see, I'm pretty confused at the moment..

Cheers,

Alex
