Description of problem: The RH 8 package management GUI (System Tools -> Packages) only gets packages from the CDs. It'd be better if the user had an option to download the packages from a Red Hat site instead of using only the CD. For one, this helps, since one might not have the CDs on hand, yet want to install something new. Additionally, this helps, since the packages must subsequently be downloaded anyway, if a newer version has been released. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Red Hat 8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
