Try ftp.cse.buffalo.edu.   Their message says they welcome
ftp Redhat installs.   Maybe the other sites do not.

PS: this list does not really like RTF messages. They are
unreadable to most, and a huge bandwidth and disk space
waster to all.  I think Outlook can turn off RTF on a per
addressee basis.  Thanks :-)
