Running away from XP

I have a nasty little machine XP on it, but I have downloaded the redhat 9 shrike disks and burn the CDs. Next I try and download the dosutils and bootdisk images. If I click, nothing happens, and if shift click, it asks me where to save it, and then doesn't.
Anyone know why, or where I can download with no problem (all the mirror sites listed by redhat seem to be the same)

Why do you have to download dosutils and bootimage since they are both on your first CD!!! Besides, you can boot RedHat Linux using the first CD and install it from there... No need to create a bootable floppy disk. Insert the first CD and make sure your BIOS can boot from a CD-ROM. Then, follow instruction on screen and off you go. And if you need to download it, head over to http://www.linuxiso.org.
