A few more notes.
There are no CD or DVD iso images. This release is currently only
installable as a network install.
When mirroring this release, it is best to do rsync, and to use the
hardlink option (-H). This is because there is alot of duplication, and
we have created hard links for those duplicates.
Instructions are available at
https://www.scientificlinux.org/download/mirroring/mirror.rsync
Did I mention that this isn't for production use.
Thank You
