Background
Red Hat is not providing ISO images of AS but:
"Because the individual components still will be available, people will be able to re-create what makes up the product. But they'll have to find and download the required software packages themselves" (source: http://news.com.com/2100-1001-823736.html).

Question
Does anybody know how to go about doing this? I would like to be able to install AS on a local machine to test the OS itself as well as a testbed for development of some applications I am working on. I know where to get the RPMS but not sure of the rest.

Reason
I don't really want to spend $799 just to get it and find out that I really don't need/like it.

Thanks ;)

track down the midatlantic lug mailing list archive; there was a discussion of how to do this, but the conclusion was that it was prohibitively difficult.
